Money

Money by TW Collins.

The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I want money (That's what I want)

~Barrett Strong

Billy, Dale and darth, Thanks guys!
I have loved "Dark Side of The Moon" since I first heard the stereo sounds on the beginning to "Money" when I was ten years old.

Lisa, Jodi, Ronny and Fred, Thanks for the faves!

I love that prism icon, like a ray of hope bouncing back from the dark - side of the money. I love that Flying Lizards song, I used to sing it to myself when delivering papers in the wind and the rain and the snow. I love this image, definitely a fave :)

Lin,
Many, many thanks for your comment, invitation and fave!

Babel,
Welcome and thank you very much.

Chris,
Thank you very much. I have all kinds of mixed metaphors bouncing around on this one. (i love the Flying lizards' cover version)

Mark,
LOL... great analogy! Thanks my friend!

Mary, Thank you for ALL of your kind comments.

Chuck, Thank you! I'm amazed at how many versions have been recorded. I think it's overdue for a well known artist to put their spin on...

lennonisgod,
Thank you and welcome to my photostream.
Here is a cool little tidbit from Wikipedia: "All You Need is Love" remains one of only two songs (along with Pink Floyd's "Money" from 1973) written in 7/4 time to reach the top 20 charts in the United States."
It is a pleasure and an honor to join your group; thank you for the invitation.

donmimi,
Many thanks; I love all of the Beatles references.

Hah! This surprised me; I expected the lyrics to be from DSOTM

Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

TW Collins says:

Howdy Carol,
Thank you for the additional lyrics; as true today as when they were written!
