Graham the Greedy Landlord

about

Song about a greedy landlord charging too much rent. This isn't the very nice Graham who creates the album covers for the Legendary Ten Seconds.

lyrics

Graham was a greedy landlord
Who charged extortionate rent
He owned lots of properties
Throughout the county of Kent

He had a very lavish lifestyle
And owned a fast sports car
Dining at expensive restaurants
With champagne and caviar

Graham was a greedy landlord
Who charged extortionate rent
His tenants were caught in a poverty trap
Of this they would often lament

He went on expensive holidays
Drinking cocktails in the sun
Dreaming of his rents rolling in
Always looking after number one

Graham showed no mercy
If a tenant couldn't pay their rent
He'd kick them out right away
Into the street they were sent

Graham was a greedy landlord
Who charged extortionate rent
He owned lots of properties
Throughout the county of Kent

He had a clever accountant
So he never had to pay any tax
With complicated trust accounts
He would always cover his tracks
