Kinks, The - Money Talks Lyrics
[Scene:]
Into Flash's den - a night club
[Scene:]
In Flash's den, a night club partly converted into an office.
[Sung by Flash, Floosies and Spivs]
Show me a man who says he can live without bread
And I'll show you a man who's a liar and in debt.
There's no one alive who can't be purchased or enticed
There's no man alive who wouldn't sell for a price,
Money talks and we're the living proof,
There ain't no limit to what money can do
Money talks, money talks.
But when I pull out a fiver people listen to me.
Money can't run and money can't walk,
But when I write out a cheque I swear to God I hear money talk.
Money talks and, baby, when you've been bought
You pay attention everytime money talks.
Money talks, money talks.
Money talks and there's no doubt about it
Money talks and we can't live without it,
What's the point of living unless you've got money?
I just couldn't function without money.
Money talks, money talks,
Money talks, money talks.
Show me an upright respected man
And I'll have him licking my boots when I put money in his hand.
It rots your heart, it gets to your soul,
Before you know where you are you're a slave to the green gold.
Money talks and we're the living proof
There ain't no limit to what money can do.
Money talks you out of your self-respect,
The more you crave it the cheaper you get.
Money talks, money talks.
Money buys you time and people listen,
Money can buy a smile and make life worth living.
If you're ugly money can improve you.
I just couldn't face the world without mazuma.
Money talks, money talks.

There's no man alive who wouldn't sell for a price,
Money talks and we're the living proof,
There ain't no limit to what money can do
Money talks, money talks.
Money can't breathe and money can't see,
But when I pull out a fiver people listen to me.
Money can't run and money can't walk,
But when I write out a check I swear to God I hear money talk.
Money talks and, baby, when you've been bought
You pay attention every time money talks.
Money talks, money talks.
Money talks and there's no doubt about it
Money talks and we can't live without it,
What's the point of living unless you've got money?

One of the "floozies" on backing vocals is the great Maryann Price of Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. -CLEVELAND ROCKER.
Act 1 & Act 2 are the most amazing albums ever
Preservation 1 and 2; now THAT is what the rock Gods call "Amazing times for music" !!!! the 70's !!
You know it's funny I hear the same timeframe Rolling Stones in this tune. The Kinks were all over the map you could never peg them down
The Kinks were 'too good" even for their own fans ,..too much vision of the future from Ray !!
Always like this tune!
F yeah Kinks rule Beatles, Kinks rule stones, Ray's melodies are just insane, beats that Beatle Paul guy, and Dave is just the inventor of punk rock, prove me wrong. no one before Dave could make such a raunchy gut filled solo, and get away with it. I just love these guys!
... before you say "Dave doesn't do a solo on this track", I beg your pardon, but the whole track is a Dave solo.....
the kinks cater to a very specific group of people unlike the beatles #kinksfan
Sorry guys you’re wrong The Beatles has more styles of music and Paul is the best Songwriter, they’re the best, why always compared with The Beatles?
You can't put Dave in the same category as the Beatles. He writes about "real" life, not just "silly love songs". Paul was much better in his earlier days,(Eleanor Rigby).

"Show me an upright, respected man-I'll have him licking my boots when I put money in his hand. There's no one alive who can't be purchased or enticed, no one alive who will not sell for a price. Money talks." Absolutely brilliant and powerful lyric with driven musical complement. A favorite of mine in the entire Kinks Katalog!
William Kenny - Rock on brother- what are my favorite songs of all time!🎸🎸🎸🎸
