Lyric Sheets
Dylan, Crosby Stills & Nash, Sting and other stars are increasingly playing exclusive concerts for corporate business conferences. Financial rewards are allegedly high...
My Back Wages
Martindale from Marketing
While at the annual do
Tied his tie around his head
And stiffly shouted, "Whoo!"
At 48 years old, the words
Came slowly to his lips
As Crosby Stills & Nash
Resuscitated "Wooden Ships"
And in a darkened function room
The other side of town
A sea of suits and iron-grey
Began to get on down
As Sting, lit up by laser-spots
Against the corporate logo
Observed a portly president
perform a rusty pogo
Even Dylan seems to have
Been dragged into the game
Though CSN have always had
The corporate sounding name
And Martindale from Marketing
May idiot-dance in vain
For morning light will see the tie
Around his neck again
