Schemer Supreme Lyrics & Tabs by Oui 3
Schemer Supreme
guitar chords lyrics
Everybody knows Billy he's a man with a mission
He's got a million ideas that never come to fruition
And when he asks you for a favour you say, “be my guest”
With his silver tongue he puts you under duress
He'll manage to convince you that it's in your own interest
He won't get off your back until he hears you say YES!
And when he sees you coming you better stand firm
Because he's the early bird and you are the worm
He catches with a charm to disarm
He's a slippery customer, but means nobody harm
I let him sting me once, I let him sting me twice
I learned my lesson - it was cheap at the price
Brains are his collateral, he's IBM compatible
The only thing he's lacking is a little of your capital
The crock of gold is just around the next bend
Brains are his collateral, he's IBM compatible
The only thing he's lacking is a little of your capital
The crock of gold is just around the next bend
And if it's someone elses cash
Then he's prepared to over spend
He's in debt to the left, right and centre
Everyone knows he's the last man you lend to
If you track him down he'll never re-imburse you
He's on the run cos he's scared of inertia
If you want a refund get to the back of the queue
Because as far as he's concerned the subject is taboo!
He is the schemer supreme, he always rises like creme
His head is chock-a-block with the American daydream
Head chock-a-block with the American daydream
Schemer supreme
Last time I saw Billy, I nearly passed him in the street
He was wearing a smile but he was dressed for defeat
He told me “times are hard but you know I never grieve”
He's always got a little something up his sleeve
So he'll be back with a plan to beguile
All those who think he's destined for the discard pile
Cos he's a jack of all trades, master of persuasion
The renegade who can rise to the occasion
When his thirst for adventure once again needs quenching
He'll be back cos he's the brother of invention
a run away train, a one man campaign
And if he takes you for a ride, you got yourself to blame
