letra de second-hand car spiv - kinks

sung by spiv, flash and floosies

spiv: i was born a slum gutter infantile,
brute-force educated, delinquent juvenile.
i am a product of m-ss produced factory fodder,
streets full of tenement blocks, rat infested filth and squalor.
i left school, went straight on the dole
and unemployment’s no enjoyment,
welfare state owned my mind and my body and my soul.
so i worked my way up to be a second-hand car spiv,
but don’t judge me harshly because i’m just a slum kid.
i built up my business with a quick wit and fist,
so don’t double-cross me or my hoods will dissect you
with their black jacks and shiv.
slum kids never get a break, they’ve got to fight their way up.
wheel and deal, beg and steal,
sweat blood to earn a buck.
i didn’t want to work on the factory floor,
i wasn’t content, i wanted more
than to be a slave of a lathe,
work all day and go home bored.
so a second- hand car spiv was what i became.
i built an empire because i used my brains.

chorus: he was a second-hand car spiv up from the slums,
so don’t judge him harshly because he’s just a slum kid.
then he moved into property, stocks and shares,

spiv: and into high finance and you’ve got to agree
that running a multi-million corporation
sure beats selling cars second-hand.

chorus: once he sold old worn out heaps to the punters on the street,

spiv: now i’m in control of the country as a whole,
and the world is at my feet.

chorus: the world is at his feet.

spiv: power, power, i’ve got power oozing out of me,
and when you think of all the things i’ve done
it says a lot for one
who worked his way up from the streets.
yes i’m a second-hand car spiv.
do a deal, buy and sell,
it’s my trade, i know it well.
make a sale, ring the bell
and let the suckers go to h-ll.
bank the profits, count the change
another sucker comes your way.
life is a crooked game,
and slum kids never change.
