Landlord Lyrics - David Soul - David Soul

Yonder come my landlord collecting his rent 

With his greedy yellow eyes and his tongue all bent 

With his padlocked pockets and his badluck nose 

Comes sniffin' round my doorway and goin' through my clothes 

Oh how could you treat me so cold 

Got a mortgage on my body and a lien on my soul 

I got a crackpot house with a two way roof 

My neighbours are thieves but I got no proof 

You like to take but you don't want to give 

I've got to pay you rent just to have a place to live 

Ah but hey you landlord I know you well 

You run a rock'n roll' tavern and a fancy hotel 

You misuse a lot of people that you got at your command 

I'll put on a pair of gloves 'fore I shake your hand
