Robert Palmer may be gone, but who could ever forget his music videos... May I say "Rest in Peace Robert" and I was on my deck and my third Heineken yesterday when I said to myself it's simply unsustainable, my brain started churning and here's my adaptation of your classic "Simply Irresistible"
SIMPLY UNSUSTAINABLE
How can it be possible
It compromise our principle, yeah yeah
This kind of debt is illogical
It’s anything but rational
It’s insane to endorse, such a destructive force
We’d better stop spending and change our course
It never looked good to me, but now I find it
Simply unsustainable
Simply unsustainable
The debt is so powerful
It certainly is avoidable
This trend is reversible
This debt is inconceivable
It needs to be law, you can’t borrow it all
You’re spending uncontrollably, stop spending because
It never looked good to me, but now I find it
Simply unsustainable
Simply unsustainable
Simply unsustainable our debt’s a crime, there’s no telling where the money went
Simply unsustainable we’re broke this time, there’s other ways you know
This is avoidable, our backs against the wall
This gives me feelings like I never felt before
You’re breaking promises, your breaking every law
Simply unsustainable our debt’s a crime, there’s no telling where the money went
Simply unsustainable we’re broke this time, there’s other ways you know
Your borrowing is unconscionable
The debt is irrefutable, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It’s so completely predictable
This debt is reprehensible
It’s insane to endorse, such a destructive force
We’d better stop spending and change our course
It never looked good to me, but now I find it
Simply unsustainable
Simply unsustainable
Simply unsustainable our debt’s a crime, there’s no telling where the money went
Simply unsustainable we’re broke this time, there’s other ways you know
Simply unsustainable our debt’s a crime, there’s no telling where the money went
Simply unsustainable we’re broke this time, there’s other ways you know
Simply unsustainable
P.S.
If anyone out there has the talent and where with all, I think you should video a version of this and see if it would catch on on You-Tube...
I remember that Robert Palmer song. Great lyrics. I hope you find someone to record it on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteThose lyrics were great! I do remember the original song. It's been quite a while now. You are right it would make a good utube piece.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing oldies but goodies.:)
ReplyDeleteHUGE fan of Palmer's....loved that video and LOVE YOUR LYRICS! WELL DONE! Seriously well done. BRAVO! I'm a jazz/pop singer but don't have the techie genes to figure out how to get that TO YouTube !!!
