Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put your heavy metal to the test
There might be half a love song in it all for you
Timing wise, it's probably for the best
Come here and kiss me now before it gets too cute
[Verse 2]
Mr Schwartz is staying strong for the crew
Wardrobe's lint rolling your velveteen suit
And smudging dubbin on your dancing shoes
[Verse 3]
Gradually, it's coming into view
It's like your little directorial debut
As fine a time as any to deduce
The fact that neither you or I has ever had a clue
[Verse 4]
Mr Schwartz is staying strong for the crew
Wardrobe's lint rolling your velveteen suit
And smudging dubbin on your dancing shoes
[Verse 5]
And if we guess who I'm pretending to be
Do we win a prize?
Having attempted twice, both incorrectly
Do we get a third try?
[Verse 6]
The gloved hand's reaching in to hit the switch
And there's not one goddam thing that you can do about it
[Verse 7]
Mr Schwartz is having tea with the grips
Asking after all the wives and the kids
It's at the heart of what The Business is
