lyrics
Living life in poverty or living it in misery
I don't know which one is worse
You doll yourself up pretty when you go and hit the city streets
But that don't stop the world from tugging on your purse strings
I know that you want to make a pretty penny
But you're bending over backwards like you already spent it
I know that you can't resist
And when you're off the clock you don't window shop?
I'm not buying it
A strangers just a friend you haven't met yet, or slept with
You made your bed with a pocketful of bread so don't lie in it
If money were no object would you stop behaving like an object?
Pretty Penny
You're a greedy guts, you see it then you bake your cake and eat it
But can't you just please keep it in your pants for one night, dear?
You put food on the table, yeah you're bringing home the bacon
But it's cut from a pig that's been rolling in the shit
It's a dirty job, another day another dollar
With a filthy gob, 'cos they pay more if you swallow
I know that you can't resist
And when you're off the clock you don't window shop?
I'm not buying it but I always end up footing the bill.
A strangers just a friend you haven't met yet, or slept with
You made your bed with a pocketful of bread so don't lie in it
If money were no object would you stop behaving like an object?
Pretty Penny
A strangers just a friend you haven't met yet, or slept with
You made your bed with a pocketful of bread so don't lie in it
'Cos it defeats the object when you love being treated like an object
Pretty Penny
I don't know which one is worse
You doll yourself up pretty when you go and hit the city streets
But that don't stop the world from tugging on your purse strings
I know that you want to make a pretty penny
But you're bending over backwards like you already spent it
I know that you can't resist
And when you're off the clock you don't window shop?
I'm not buying it
A strangers just a friend you haven't met yet, or slept with
You made your bed with a pocketful of bread so don't lie in it
If money were no object would you stop behaving like an object?
Pretty Penny
You're a greedy guts, you see it then you bake your cake and eat it
But can't you just please keep it in your pants for one night, dear?
You put food on the table, yeah you're bringing home the bacon
But it's cut from a pig that's been rolling in the shit
It's a dirty job, another day another dollar
With a filthy gob, 'cos they pay more if you swallow
I know that you can't resist
And when you're off the clock you don't window shop?
I'm not buying it but I always end up footing the bill.
A strangers just a friend you haven't met yet, or slept with

Beyond The Static
by Nick Piuntisupported by 20 fans who also own “Pretty Penny”
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'.

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 18 fans who also own “Pretty Penny”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.

This Calgary group makes goth-y post-punk attired in the brightly colorful arrangements of bleep-boop synthesized psychedelia.

The New Sell Out
by Futureman Recordssupported by 18 fans who also own “Pretty Penny”
Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century.
