Bill Ryder-Jones
Eastbound and Down
[Chorus]
I like the fit of your suit, too shorts at the hems
I like the cut of your jib, we could be friends
I could see myself in your shoes making decisions that affect the global economy
I, too, could make my salary in private equity
[Post-Chorus]
I could be in your shoes
I could be in your shoes
[Break 1]
As I sit beside you on the 7:45am Jubilee Line train headed Eastbound, I decide
I’m partly jealous of your nicely ironed three piece suit
Hems, 2/3 inches Northbound of a freshly polished Oxford brogue
But I’m mostly jealous of your 6 figure paypacket
A hundred thousand pounds a year
Two hundred thousand pounds a year plus bonuses
[Chorus]
I like the fit of your suit, too shorts at the hems
I like the cut of your jib, we could be friends
I could see myself in your shoes making decisions that affect the global economy
I, too, could make my salary in cryptocurrency
[Post-Chorus]
I could be in your shoes
I could be in your shoes
I could be in your shoes
[Break 2 / Outro]
And I sit beside you on a 7:45 Jubilee Line train headed eastbound
I marvel at the precision of your Windsor knot and I concur
I’m so jealous of your paypacket
A hundred thousand pounds a year
Two hundred thousand pounds a year
Three hundred thousand pounds a year
Four hundred thousand pounds a year
Five hundred thousand pounds a year
Plus bonuses, plus bonuses
