Business On You lyrics
by Richard Thompson
[Verse 1]
I got sinister things waiting for you in my rattle bag
Egyptian rings and the dust of kings and the tooth of a hag
The bones of Keats, the tongues of cheats and a mad dog's eye
And I'm gonna make you love me and you won't know why
[Chorus]
I've got all the magic I need
All the magic I need
I've got all the magic I need
I'm gonna do the business on you
I'm gonna do the business on you
I'm gonna do the business on you
I've got all the magic I need
[Verse 2]
I've got a drop of Elvis' sweat from Caesar's Palace
I've got Virginia McKenna's tears from A Town Like Alice
I've got a hair from the underwear of the Empress Josephine
And I'm gonna come for you, darling, in the middle of a dream
[Chorus]
I've got all the magic I need
I've got all the magic I need
I've got all the magic I need
I'm gonna do the business on you
I'm gonna do the business on you
I'm gonna do the business on you
I've got all the magic I need
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I've got war paints, the skulls of saints, don't you want to see 'em?
The blood of popes and Tyburn ropes from the Black Museum
I've got Frederick Delius' finger, Wordsworth's tattoo
And I'm gonna love you with everything and I think you're gonna love me too
[Chorus]
I've got all the magic I need
All the magic I need
I've got all the magic I need
I'm gonna do the business on you
I'm gonna do the business on you
I'm gonna do the business on you
I've got all the magic I need
