about

Treasure by Mark Drower and the Everyones.
EP: The Blaze Tape

Fun Facts:
* The acoustic guitar is tuned DADGBE for Treasure.
* It is possible that the first verse of this song was taken directly from the Everyone play itself, so may need to be credited to Frederick Franck, the play's author.
* This song was played when Everyone was left unfulfilled by his material possessions and his money.
* It was always called Treasure, its working title, and was never given another name.
* On the occasion of the Blaze expedition, after lunch and a few ales, another version of this song was recorded.
* It was arguably not quite entirely triumphant.
* The post-lunch version, along with The Cabbage Blues, is available only to people who were present on the day, and only by request.
* Treasure evolved into a Now song called Obsession, which was a truly ghastly and prolonged outburst of drunken nonsensical rantings.
* Treasure was also subsequently performed by Fooog Dinboffin and the Release, Now, Lemming Meringue and Wud.

lyrics

TREASURE
Operator, fornicator
Grabbing and duping your friends
Wheeling and dealing
Tricking and stealing
Double-crossing, double-dealing
Renting and selling
Buying, shopping, lying, leasing
Lending and swapping
Bullion bonds and real estate

Sorry fella, it’s too late
Don’t slobber, I don’t wait

Cheating for a million
Cheating for a dime
Cheating is cheating boy, every time

You two-bit swindler millionaire
Well now it’s over, I don’t care

Sorry fella, it’s too late
Don’t slobber, I don’t wait
You will never
Never, never see the sun again
You’ll never
Never see the sun again
You’ll never
Never see the sun again
