about

Cash Grab is a retrospective reflection of a tale about the greyhound industry. This was informed in part from a conversation I overheard while having a haircut most likely modelled on Rod Stewart in his Faces era a few years ago. Cash Grab was written sitting on my couch at home after spinning The Faces, The Stones and The Who, Keith came around on a Monday night and we played around with the chorus and added to it, finished in 20 minutes. Arrangement/structure wise it was mapped on those said bands, horns very mo-town which as soon as it was written was aching for that and some honky tonk piano, Hammond organ just sitting under the mix. Lyrically it was written in an hour which is never how things work as a rule, this is as pondering is normally needed for that conducive flow of words. Musically and lyrically I have to be satisfied after much self critiqued scrawl goes into my songbook but lyrics always seem to receive minor alterations during the recording process. – Shann Lions 01.11.2018.

Lyrics By Shann Lions

Lyrics:

Money goes out quicker than it comes in,
Know a trainer at the meadows who gave me a tip

Load up race 4 number 6 it’s had no wins

Eyes pinnin’ as wide as they can be
That’s our mutt on the inside of barrier 3
Smell of garlic mixed with brylcreem
Wear a pleather jacket and on amphetamines

That’s our cash grab
He’s settling back
See our cash grab
It’s magic on the track

Studying blood lines to see who is he?
Fernando Bale no relation this week
Hit the straight two heads in front on the lead
Major returns city here comes me

Load up race 4 number 6 it’s had no wins

That’s our cash grab
He’s settling back
See our cash grab
It’s magic on the track


That’s our cash grab
He’s settling back
See our cash grab
