Billy Banker by Picture Atlantic

Billy Banker, he’s a wanker,
And a young blood, yet he’s given a key.
Makes them money, but it’s funny,
Because before this he sold those ads on TV.

The greatest records will never get heard;
Lost on shelves in a mothers basement somewhere.
Thanks to Billy there’s still plenty
Of shelves and basements, for generations to share.

CHORUS
It’s not about the swing and cut of your jib
It’s all about what they can sell to the kids!
You can fake it, til you make it they’ll say
Who’s to know?

There’s of a heap of, eager blue bloods
Primed and ready, to sell their honor away.
Nothing new there, but the catch is
It’s been packaged, in an indie rock frame.

Here’s the problem, did he rob them?
A&R men, they wanna’ go for the win;
"What’s the point in, losing funding
On a great band , if they can’t sell a thing?"
