Here's a cheeky, satirical song about Spenda’s share price that never goes up, set to the tune of a slow country or blues jam.
“Still Flat (The Spenda Blues)”
By The Bagholders
[Verse 1]
I bought in at a cent,
Said “this is heaven-sent,”
Adrian said, “big deals are near,”
But now it's been three years,
And I’m still stuck right here,
Watchin’ charts with a cryin' beer.
[Chorus]
'Cause the Spenda price, it never goes up,
Like a broken-down ute that’s stuck in the mud.
Promises fly, but my wallet stays dry,
It’s a long, slow ride — on the ASX slide.
[Verse 2]
They said “Capricorn’s gold,”
That the network would hold,
And Lessn would make banks sweat.
But it’s sideways or down,
In this microcap town,
And I ain’t broke — but I’m damn near it yet.
[Chorus]
Oh the Spenda price, it never goes up,
It flirts with two cents, then gives it all up.
Got my chart app on fire, but no green in sight,
I'm just holding these bags through the long, cold night.
[Bridge]
Maybe one day it’ll moon,
Or get bought out real soon,
Or Adrian will finally land that whale…
Till then I’ll just cope,
Clingin’ on to false hope,
‘Cause selling now feels like betrayal.
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, the Spenda price, it never goes up,
Just like my luck, it’s perpetually stuck.
I could’ve bought dogs, or a second-hand ute,
But now I refresh charts in my dressing-room suit.
[Outro]
So here’s to the dream, and my broken chart cup,
The Spenda price…
It just never goes up.
Warmest regards,
PD
