The F-oldin Money

'F-Oldin' Money' by Tommy Blake(Recco, 1959)



And then....zoom....40 years later.... same problems....

'F-Oldin' Money' by The Fall, from The Marshall Suite (Artful, 1999)



"Well i went to see the Welfare man to try to get a pension,

'coz now i was sorely pressed & i was needing some attention,

He said "You don't qualify-you don't get a dime",

Thats when I broke his Jaw, Thats Why I'm doin' time

And i'd do it all again

Though it may sound funny

Tryin' to get my hands on some F-oldin' money...."

-Tommy Blake (1931-1985)
