"Eastern Promise" as written by and Clive Gregson....
Look out Cleveland now the storm is through
your new salvation is dawning on you
your good intentions won't help you now
you need your prayer book and your sacred cow
chorus:
Better save your money for a rainy day
you see it coming and it won't go away
and it won't be giftwrapped or sealed with a kiss
but it will be real
it will be real
it will be real and that's an eastern promise
It stays with you wherever you go
it stains your skin and burns your clothes
you cannot lose it no matter how you try
it'll still be with you on the day that you die
your new salvation is dawning on you
your good intentions won't help you now
you need your prayer book and your sacred cow
chorus:
Better save your money for a rainy day
you see it coming and it won't go away
and it won't be giftwrapped or sealed with a kiss
but it will be real
it will be real
it will be real and that's an eastern promise
It stays with you wherever you go
it stains your skin and burns your clothes
you cannot lose it no matter how you try
it'll still be with you on the day that you die
