Jam, The - Pretty Green Lyrics
I've got a pocket full of pretty green -
I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine -
I'm gonna put it in the juke box -
It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade -
This is the pretty green - this is society
- oh no -
I've got a pocket full of pretty green
I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter
He's gonna give me food and water -
I'm gonna eat that and look for more -
And they didn't teach me that in school -
It's something that I learnt on my own -
That power is measured by the pound or the fist -
I've got a pocket full of Pretty Green!

Jam, The Pretty Green Comments
Muppets!! Pretty greens are pound notes!! Liven up
Jeeze, the Jam really are fucking dull as dishwater aren't they? Wow, deep insightful lyrics there Paul you fucking hack.
They should rename this song "JD Sport"
Great pictures with that graphic all over them. A copyright thing?
Americans called them greenbacks
mark ronson has just killed this
Foxtons bass line and backing harmony. So underrated. He made the jam sound
i'm sorry but Mark Ronson nailed this song
A CLASSIC FROM 1980.
The jam Paul Weller, Bruce foxton, rik buckler all grew up in maybury Woking surrey, great song
I've have had the vinyl since the year dot. I went into a charity shop the other day a bought it on CD. I mentioned to the clerk that I hadn't listneded to it in about 40 years and the look was 'what you talkin' about?'

They didn't teach me that in school. Great line, great song. Sums up the whole Ursury banking system.

Classic stuff!
pearl jam.
'Pearl Jam' suck.
@DoctorBohr thanks for the advice doc!
Pretty great!
Fuckin bootiful bernard!
This is great! Too many people forget how big a contribution Bruce made to the SOUND of the Jam. If not for his great bass playing and tone, they would not have sounded so good.
selma i dont speak spanish,but i love the jam, i'm from chicago
They were certainly a great band, perhaps the best to come from the "proper" punk band generation. I would have to say that The Police certainly sold more and were more popular worldwide, and they came from a seed of the punk generation. They developed more quickly into a pop group, which is where Paul Weller took The Jam as they progressed. Love this era of The Jam.
esas letras arriba de todas las fotos quedan como el locu
I can't say strongly enough how good a band The Jam were. In my opinion they were the most influencial UK band, certainly of their era, and maybe since the Beatles.
indeed and they actually sang about something as well.

Couldn't have put it any better myself.
don't forget the clash
