Mister Nico

Broken windows
Bolted doors
Dust lays think
Upon the floors

Soon machines
And men will be
Breaking down
What's part of him

Through the concrete
Through the steel
He see things
No others will

Not just wealth
But heartbreak, too
And I wonder what old Nick will do

Close up shop, Mister Nico
That's what the big man said
Make way for concrete and steel
And no-one even cared

Now times will change
Times will choose
Who's to win
And who's to lose

Progress can
For many men
Be the start
Or mean the end

Close up shop, Mister Nico
That's what the big man said
Make way for concrete and steel
And no-one even cared

Now it's just a memory
It's just a thought
If something's sold then
Something's bought

Poor old Nick
He never sold
He wouldn't leave
Till he was told

Close up shop, Mister Nico
That's what the big man said
Make way for concrete and steel
And no-one even cared

Make way for concrete and steel
And no-one even cared
