Noblesse Oblige - Alpines

Jumped in to swim with morning tea leaves

They whispered steam

Climbed out to dry out on your magazine

Your glossy altarpiece

Everyone is selling something

Don’t believe me, don’t believe me

Never spending, never lending out

Their spare change, their spare change

Tunneled and bored deep into your handbag

The smallest thief

Nail files and armies of indentured keys

Sharper than shark’s teeth

Everyone is selling something

Don’t believe me, don’t believe me

Never spending, never lending out

Their spare change, their spare change

I don’t mind all of the time

Everyone is selling something

Don’t believe me, don’t believe me

Never spending, never lending out

Your spare change, your spare change

Back then you wore your noblesse oblige on Silver sleeves

At the first sign of danger do hide your tail between your knees?
