Текст песни: Money, Compliments, Publicity (Song Number Ten) + перевод

A man once said that the pinnacle of success

Was when you finally lost interest

In money, compliments, and publicity

A noble enough idea, I suppose

How on earth he does this, heaven only knows

I know I need a lot more of all three of those

Before I ever have the nerve to turn up my nose

At any money, or compliment, some publicity

I’m broke as the ten commandments

Sometimes I’m harder to follow

I don’t know whether to walk to school or take my lunch

S-s-should've worn my watch, it’s true

You may think you see a man who was looking for attention

But you’re looking at a man who has lived through a little bit of

Poverty, some anxiety, some scrutiny

You know, if I ever do get my money together

I’m gon' take care of all of my friends

I’ll buy an island run a phone line

Call them tell them all to get fucked, oh

That oughta take care of them

Just be me and my money and my compliments and my publicity

Sing it with me

Money, compliments, and publicity

It’s an issue for me, I

I went to see this therapist

She said, just do the best you can do

Do the best you can do

I was hoping for something more specific

A man once said that the pinnacle of success

Was when you finally lost interest

In money, compliments, publicity

Many years later, another man will say all that again

But not for the sake of inspiring men

But rather 'cause he’s got nine songs and knows he needs at least ten

Before he can go back to town and turn them all in

To get the money (you guessed it), the compliments, publicity

Money, compliments and publicity

Lord, I’m gonna take it to the bank and save money

I love the compliments and the publicity

Lord, I’m gonna take it to the bank and save money

I love the compliments and the publicity

I’ve got so many people to thank

I want to thank Claude Davies

I won’t forget the good Lord up in heaven above

And all my fans for my money, my compliments, and my publicity

Money, the compliments, the publicity

Lord, I want to bathe in it: money, I love the compliments, publicity

Money, the compliments, the publicity
