Leo McCauley - The Man Who Burst the Bubble Lyrics

Your crombie coat struck the right note
Gliding along the street like you owned it
Passing by in that shocking pink tie
You tossed a coin into my paper cup
For a sec our eyes met in the sunlight
Not so long ago we both shared the high life

We were the team living the dream
Poster boys for the middle classes
Rising stars, those guys will go far
Selling easy loans to the masses
When Greed was good and Capital easily gained
But how could the wheels come off this gravy train

Don't look down on me
A cripple in the rubble
But when the dust has cleared
Was I the man that burst the bubble

Everywhere we went, the Galway tent
Low friends in high places
First to the bar two under par
New jobs but for the same old faces
When the stakes are high the banker always knows best
But he didn't see the storm coming in from the west

Don't look down on me
A cripple in the rubble
But when the dust has cleared
Was I the man that burst the bubble

Make sure you come on your own
Careful what you say on your phone

Don't look down on me
Bankrupt in the rubble
But when the dust has cleared
Was I the man that burst the bubble

He's the man He's the man
He's the man that burst the bubble
He's the man He's the man
He's the man that burst the bubble
He's the man He's the man
He's the man that burst the bubble
He's the man He's the man
He's the man that burst the bubble
