On That Note: Buy and Sell

[cyclones500]

Our theme for this segment is straightforward. As a combo of spring cleaning and beginning of garage sale season, post songs with title or lyrics that include forms of the words buy or sell. Also accepted: Purchase.

NOT ACCEPTED: “money” or “shop,” we covered those in other OTNs)

“On That Note” is featured each week on Cyclone Fanatic, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Money, get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're OK
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

 

[MeanDean]

 

[MeanDean]

They bought and sold you

 

[pourcyne]

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

[MeanDean]

What becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your grandad had to sweat, so you could buy

 

[BCClone]

 

[pourcyne]

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one they were gone



Aber es besser auf Deutsch (Es gefällt mir)

 

[MeanDean]

If I could buy your love, I'd truly try, my friend
And if I could pray, my prayer would never end

 

[pourcyne]

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's stores
Buys a twenty carat golden ring (Golden ring?)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing (Sing)

 

[MeanDean]

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need, anytime of the day or night

 

[pourcyne]

You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

 

[MeanDean]

In the heat of the day down in mobile Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
I gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes
Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues

 

[MeadForMyHorses]

To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue
Baby just one kiss will get these things for you
A kiss to seal our fate tonight

 

[pourcyne]

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

 

[pourcyne]

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

 

[pourcyne]

I'm gonna buy a ticket, now
As far as I can
Ain't a-never comin' back
Ride me a southbound
All the way to Georgia, now
Till the train, it run out of track

 

[MeanDean]

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
