(fade it) I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine

[Oh wonderful, wonderful.

Take 19!

Do it the other way. 2,3,4.]

Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustling for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine

I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
But still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
What it is, what it is, what it is, what it is

Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustling for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine

I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
But still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Just say, just say, just say, just say

Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooo wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep, ooo wee!

[1,2,3,4.]

Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollering bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground

[Alright, let's go and have a listen and break from it.]
