Ten A Penny

from Ian's Songs - Compilation by Mu Theory

/

about

This is the first full song Ian wrote and with some great input from Tony became part of the first Mu-Theory album Until We Lose It.

The live version (not this) often features Tony musing on what kind of mind writes lyrics like this followed by a commentary on the strange and wonderful place that Ian's mind is :)

The truth is that in this ultra-commercial world we live in everything has a price and the song muses on what kind of dreams you'd get for "Ten a Penny". To quote Ian "just my luck at that price I'd get one with John Howard naked"

lyrics

What sort would you get for that price?
Not much I’m sure!
I want premium, 1-900
Get what you pay for

chorus
--------
Elle McPherson, not John Howard
That’s the kind I want
Mai Tais on the beach at sunset
Give me dreams like that

Ten a Penny, Ten a Penny, Ten a Penny, Ten a Penny

Don’t wake me up, I’m having a good one
It’s been a while
I can’t say what is happening to me
But it’s making me smile

Cause when I’m coming on strong I feel so alive
And when I see the fearless leader – I pull my blankets high
