Worn out Suits, Brand New Pockets - Dave Edmunds

They say money is the root of all evil

But if that’s so they should make a saint of me

Cos whenever things look up

I can depend on my bad luck

And I’ll be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

They say a fool and his money are soon parted

And I can safely say I’m living proof of that

In one pain and out the other

I lose more than I recover

And I’m wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

If I make more than a dime

I know I’ll lose it back in time

Leaving me right back where I started

If my name was Rockefeller

Yes I’d still lose every dollar

And I’d be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

If I make more than a dime

I know I’ll lose it back in time

Leaving me right back where I started

If my name was Rockefeller

Yes I’d still lose every dollar

I’d be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets
