Just a little rant about something I read somewhere.

Something for Nothing

If you're always wanting something for nothing
Then nothing's what you're likely to get

If you want to put the blame onto somebody else
Don't be surprised if you're left on the shelf

If you think you're going somewhere
And you're going somewhen
You'd better scratch your head
and start thinking again

If you're always wanting something for nothing
Then nothing's what you're going to get

And if it's never your fault when it all goes wrong
Then you'd better blame us when the money's all gone

While you're sitting alone
Cos you can't find a friend
You'd better wonder why
you're complaining again

If you're always wanting something for nothing
Then nothing's what you're going to get

I'm sure if you look hard the answer is there
And it isn't just because your cupboard is bare

You think you deserve it
But you don't say why
As a gift like that
is just a poke in the eye

If you're always wanting something for nothing
Then nothing's what you're likely to get

If you want to put the blame onto somebody else
Don't be surprised if you're left on the shelf

Looking for something for nothing
You won't get something for free
Looking for something for nothing
You don't get sympathy
Looking for something for nothing
Oh yeah you won't get sympathy
Looking for something for nothing
And you won't get nothing for free
Looking for something for nothing
You won't get nothing from me

So...does that mean you expect me to work to get the cash to buy my own butter.
But it tastes so much better when someone else buys it for me.
Wait... uhm...., what was the original topic ?

First time pay the price, then you won't have to buy it twice.

I love your pontification Henry! I wanted to get more distortion and punkish but was a bit limited in ramping up the volume at the time I recorded it - when I next perform it I will try harder!

As always, the attention to detail in your juxtaposition of images astounds. I love the punky mid tempo tone of the song, with the hint of angry snarl (was imagining it a bit faster with more overdrive, ala the Sex Pistols...LOL). Ah, reminiscing about the good old days...but I digress. I especially liked the stoner-like drone at the end of the piece. Pardon the rather lengthy pontification. CHEERS!

@ Wally - it's all about which way your bread is buttered as my mother used to say but I never knew what she meant either!
@ bemuzic Sssshhh! B&W beats that ghastly pink any day! Takes me back to my yoof when everything was like that!
@ wes - thanks - it was supposed to be slower but it didn't work

Could you explain the meaning to this song, I don't want to have to strain my brain.
I think I'm entitled to know, dang-it !
