I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of
I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question, do you want to be rich?
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money
You can tell I'm educated, I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics, I could have been a don
I can program a computer, choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination, I have got the crime
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them, make or break them
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of
Money
You can see I'm single-minded, I know what I could be
How d'you feel about it? Come and take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner, regardless of expense
Think about it seriously, you know, it makes sense
Let's (got the brains)
Make (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (money)
(Let's) you've got the brawn
(Make) I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money (money)
I've got the brains (got the brains)
You've got the looks (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (money)
Money
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of
I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question, do you want to be rich?
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money
You can tell I'm educated, I studied at the Sorbonne

There are two versions and I dont't know, which one I like more. The second one's got from beginning till end so much power and rhythm, the first one's much more quite, but I prefer the video of this one. Neil is looking there so damn sexy intelligent and distinguished with his suit, hat and glasses and I love his arrogant gestures and facial mimics throughout the whole video, especially at the second verse, telling about his intellectual achievements- so genius!
Well, what's this song about? I think, it's from all about the others already wrote before: a wind-up about two losers making fast money, maybe a sexual line about looking for a partner icl. all benefits, but in my opinion the combination of brains, brawn and looks is in deed the best combination for making lots of money- if you do it the right way.
But there are two phrases in the song which I don't quite understand, maybe someone can help me: in which context do you see "My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work"? Is it just to have a rhyme? Or does the jerk's car not work of whom he's had enough of? Euphemism for something sexual?
And "Doctored in mathematics" is always translated that he has a degree in maths, but doctored actually means something like betraying. I'm not from the U.K., so maybe I'm wrong with the translation und maybe someone can help me? Anyway, great song!!
Classic Pet Shop Boys.
