Taxloss Lyrics

He'll be your Taxloss lover from Liverpool
Taxloss lover if the truth be told
Taxloss lover still lives in the war
Taxloss lover touching 74
Ah, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
Ah, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
We think you are stupid
We give you money 'cos our assets are fluid yeah
We'll sell you down the river
Just remember that we said we'd deliver you
Sign on the line and we'll give you the money
And then you'll be mine and we'll fly somewhere sunny
And you'll quibble that our drivel seems unsatifactory
You're a taxloss, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
He'll be your taxloss lover and his name is Bert
Your taxloss lover and he's always a flirt
Your taxloss lover's into kinky sex
Your taxloss lover wears a cracking dress
Ah, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
Ah, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
We think you are stupid
We give you money 'cos our assets are fluid yeah
We'll sell you down the river
And just remember that we said we'd deliver you
Sign on the line and we'll give you the money
And then you'll be mine and we'll fly somewhere sunny You'll quibble that our drivel seems unsatifactory
We're a taxloss, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
We think you are stupid
We give you money 'cos our assets are fluid yeah
We'll sell you down the river
Just remember that we said we'd deliver you
Sign on the line and we'll give you the money
And then you'll be mine and we'll fly somewhere sunny
And you'll quibble that our drivel seems unsatifactory
A taxloss, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
Ooh, oh yeah Ooh, oh yeah
Ooh, oh yeah Ooh, oh yeah
Ooh, oh yeah Ooh, oh yeah
Ooh, oh yeah Ooh, oh yeah
Taxloss, mod rock, junk pop, chart hop
Mop top, swap shop, who'd you nick your cliche off

Taxloss Song Chart

This searing update of The Beatles' "Taxman" was written by Mansun frontman Paul Draper for the group's debut album, Attack of the Grey Lantern. The song was edited down from over seven minutes to four and a half minutes for its single release.

The video was filmed on April 17, 1997 by Roman Coppola, who is the son of Francis Ford Coppola and brother of Sofia . Secret cameras caught the avarice of real London commuters as £25,000 in £5 notes were thrown from the upper concourse of Liverpool Street Station onto the people below. The ensuing chaos as the crowd scrambled for the cash highlighted their greed.

The Attack of the Grey Lantern album was based around a concept of a superhero, the titular "Grey Lantern" and his encounters with the bizarre inhabitants of a fictional English town.
