High Stakes Songtext
von John Illsley

Play for High Stakes
Can you take it that′s the name of the game.
Names in gold plate.
Paradise just of the hill.
See them come and go.
Sympathy has no place in your heart.

Get up early in the morning.
Get up early for the High Stake life.

A little place in Spain.
Nothing fancy you know what I mean.
Silver spur, she purrs.
Streets are black where you came from.
Now the light burn bright.
Sheets are stilk, conscience clean.
With a Chelsea view and West End screw.
Left that East End dead end far behind.


Do you think of any other.
Sliding by in your High Stake life.

High roller, steam roller.
High stakes, chance taker.
Smile please, camera tease.
You're a dirt raker, obnoxious little money maker.

Not you′re sister of your brother.
They misunderstood though you were a mean roller,
Steam roller. High stakes, chance taker.
Smile please.
Camera tease, you're a dirk raker.
Obnoxious little money maker.

Variety.
Variety adds spice in your life.
You're doing good, doing good.
Doing good, but you end up doing well.

Where do you go from here.
A Duke an Earl or just a life peer.

High Staker.
