Lyrics

[00:01.90] Rich kids are born to hate the world
[00:06.87] That's why they steal their mothers' pearls
[00:11.7] All that money makes you sick
[00:15.12] (you've)got to find a way to get your kicks
[00:20.19] But you know it's really not his fault
[00:25.31] And growing up can be so cold
[00:29.59] Victim of a nursery crime
[00:33.72] All the mess your father left behind
[00:39.65] The flowers were white and red
[00:48.71] They laid them round the bed
[00:57.96] The sun shone down,
[01:00.31] the hearse drove on ahead
[01:06.24] Everybody loves you when you're dead
[01:11.5] With a needle in your leg
[01:16.19] On a Hammersmith sofa-bed
[01:20.19] They only gave you half a chance
[01:24.74] (When) they should've called the ambulance
[01:29.41] And though your mother nearly died of shame
[01:33.78] when the papers said what was to blame
[01:38.61] You can count on her in any crisis
[01:42.55] to be handing round the tranquilisers
[01:48.80] The flowers were white and red
[01:57.96] They laid them round the bed
[02:07.3] The sun shone down,
[02:09.90] the hearse drove on ahead
[02:15.62] Everybody loves you when you're dead
[02:20.69] Never thought we'd miss you
[02:25.24] quite as much as we do
[02:29.96] It's too late to tell you now
[02:52.53] Top people pay to put it straight
[02:57.45] A nose job was your sister's fate
[03:01.81] She always was a sacred cow
[03:06.9] Well she's married to the surgeon now
[03:10.77] And all the people that you used to see
[03:15.65] We've all grown up and got healthy
[03:20.17] Now and then we'll think of you
[03:24.51] As we slip into our daddies' shoes
[03:30.18] The flowers were white and red
[03:39.32] We laid them round the bed
[03:48.59] The sun shone down,
[03:50.92] the hearse drove on ahead
[03:57.8] Cuz everybody loves you when you're dead
