and always time for the Centro theme song.


go Jimmy go...


left my heart to the cappers with 10 grand
And my soul was sold with my certificates to the Blackstone hedge fund man
I've had the Centro shops cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only Hot-copperites could understand

About the long forgotten bank loan guarantees
How there were no day trading heroes in 1973
How we sailed into stormy waters
Saw an old friend but I couldn't short her
She was sub-primed, but I was loaned in the lucky land

And she was like so many banks from that time on
Their accounts were all so empty, till they found their chosen one
And their rates were often open
But their loans were always closed
And their assets were held in suburban fast food chains
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, dividend stream lean
And the paper-column writers clattered where the shoppers once had been
But the car parks made me jumpy
And I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for a rollover and a divvie plan

So I worked across the country end to end
Tried to find shopping centres to sell off, so my mixed up life could mend
Held a job refying car-loans
Snipping commish there when I could
But the Alt-A’s nearly drove me round the bend

And I've travelled round the banks from year to year
And each one found me funds less, one more year the more for wear
And I've been back to South East Asia
But the answer sure ain't there
But I'm drifting north, to check Blackstone again

You know the last loan out of Centro’s almost gone
Only seven trading days, and I'll be reading what went wrong
There ain't nothing like the kisses
From a jaded HC princess
I'm gonna hit some short term punters all night long

Well the last loan out of Centro’s almost gone
Yeah the last loan out of Centro’s almost gone
And it's really got me worried
The funds are nowhere and I'm in a hurry
And the last loan out of Centro’s almost gone
