Barterers And Their Wives chords
The Left Banke 1966
Capo I
Barterers & their wives
Barterers & their wives
Trading, fading, faking, breaking,
Barter away their lives
Crowding the city gate
Shunning the master s fate
Low decisions they envision,
Cleaning the paupers plates
. . .
In the marketplace, trading commonplace friends
. . .
Come to banter on odds to meet their own ends
Barterers hold their own
Pinching on what they loan
After seeding, people pleading,
Spending the heat alone
. . .
Who will sacrifice pride for being nice game
. . .
He s in season & that s the reason he came
break
Barterers & their trade
Lately fall back to fade
Every evening, packing, leaving,
Counting on what they ve made
. . .
Wifely cooking will keep them looking their best
. . .
As they smile & set out beguiling with jest
Barterers & their wives
Barterers & their wives
Trading, fading, faking, breaking,
Barter away their lives
. . . 2x
. . .
