Electric Light Orchestra - Easy Money Lyrics






One, two, three...

Tell me I'm mistaken
I must be kinda slow
But the only time you ever cared
Was when you needed more ... easy money, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money

If you see a sucker standing at your door
Bring him in and make him grin
Then take him to the store
Easy money, easy money
Watch out from above
You broke into the bank of love
Easy money

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

I've come to the conclusion it's like the old man said
The only thing you gave me was shit and promises
Easy money, whoa whoa whoa, easy money
One day you'll have to earn all the money that you burn
Easy money

Take it, Jeff...

Easy money

Wha, wha, yeah

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

Funny thing about it
Don't even make me blue
'Cause there's no better deal around
Than saying goodbye to you
Easy money, easy money

You snatched that cash right into your stash, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money
Easy money, woo woo woo, easy money

    A song can just be a song. It doesn't always have to be dedicated to someone.

    Very interesting...I'll have to give Zoom a try.

  10. m.... ....

    I can't wait to see these guys in Detroit. This was such a good album that I think a lot of people don't know about. I'd like to believe they might do something from this album, but I doubt it.

  11. M.... A....

    That's Ringo on drums!

    M.... A....

    He's laying it down!!!

    M.... A....

    If you don't like this, it's your fault!

  13. H.... W....

    Jeff Lynne and Ringo Starr, two Legends = Fantastic Music and Unbeliveable Sounds! Bring it in the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame! NOW!!!

  14. R.... S....

    George guitar!

  15. M.... J....

    M.... J....

    ELO is an old band but a very good one. But u weren't born yet in 1976 i think 😊

  16. L.... T....

    Yesssssssssssss!!!

  17. �.... �....

    elo the best aver

  18. d.... ....

    Easy britannia1952. Trace the string of postings. I was asking about who this song was dedicated to, that's all. I am a big, big fan of the boys from Birmingham for all my years and have no concern nor care for whatever their personal practices are. Interstingly enough, the bloke in the headlines of the post, Bev Bevan, is a staunch conservative, and a heck of nice fellow too.

  19. S.... K....

    Jeff was happily married and heartbroken when he split up with his wife. Enough of your stupid rumours. Bev and Jeff founded ELO together they were the beginning of ELO.nothing more than friends.

    S.... K....

    ummm Elo was founded by jeff lynne, Roy wood, bev bevan...........the vital link being roy wood....doh

  20. D.... N....

    Proof that Jeff still has it.

  21. V.... P....

    jeff lynne is my lifetime favorite!

  22. M.... ....

    Holy shit, Jeff swore. Also cracking song

    M.... ....

    Give "Oh No Not Susan" a listen - there are two F-words awaiting!

    M.... ....

    @Fluteboy :-) yeah, he's got form!

  23. d.... ....

    OK - Sorry for mixing that up. And thank you for the clarification. I did understand that there was some issues with Jeff and the other band members when they went to form ELO-2.

  24. H.... ....

    No! That's why I was saying he WASN'T his lover. I have heard that Jeff dedicated this song to Bev Bevan as they had some money trouble when they split apart. In no part of the song there's something that says the singer and the other character were lovers or something, it just goes about a person that likes taking profit of other's money.

  25. d.... ....

    Come again? Lynne was gay? I doubt that very much.

  26. H.... ....

    Apparently to Bev Bevan (whom as long as I know wasn't his lover).

  27. H.... ....

    Time passed but Jeff Lynne didn't lose the rock n' roll thing.

  28. M.... ....

    Reply to ELOPart 2 song Easy Street ? check it out

  29. M.... ....

    Temazote!!!

  30. r.... ....

    same verse concept as rockaria!

  31. d.... ....

    What ex-lover of Jeff's was this dedicated to?
