"Gimme A Slice"

GIMME A SLICE
by Maggie, Terre and Suzzy Roche

Money position and power
Flashing back to the first impression
Hurrying year and slow hour
Are you ready to make some concessions

Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it

Babbling gossip and thin ice
High flying theories and complex notions
How many times can you think twice
You're gonna have to go through the emotions

Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it

Listen to the sound of the way you get around the room
Look into the eyes of the other butterflies that loom
Wearisome and dull weird and fantastic
Profitless and vain brave and elastic
All the lesser lights pale
You pack a punch and you don't know about it

Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it
Gimme a slice with everything on it
