The Punishment of Luxury
Is in the air for all to see
And it’s ugly now
And it’s getting worse everyday
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Dilettante, savoir faire
Can I have my check please sir
Cos I’m leaving now
Couldn’t take it another day
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Think you’re right, think you’re free
Floating in your purgatory
But you made your choice
And you’re living it everyday
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Lazy girl, dirty boy
Surrounded by your broken toys
And you don’t know how
To make the pain just go away
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So close your eyes, and shut your mouth
You make me want to scream and shout
So close your eyes, and shut your mouth
You make me want to scream and shout
So close your eyes, and shut your mouth
You make me want to scream and shout
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
The Punishment of Luxury
Is in the air for all to see
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
The Punishment of Luxury
Is in the air for all to see
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
The Punishment of Luxury
Is in the air for all to see
(Hey! Hey! Hey!) (For all to see!)
Punishment of Luxury
Is in the air for all to see
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
mi eravate mancati così tanto gli OMD è applauso al bravissimo cantante Andreaw Mcclusky con una canzone come The Punishment of Luxury.grazie dal vostro fan Antonio Cesiro da Genova
The thing about Omd as well as making great videos they are intellectuals. Always fascinating to see where they get their inspiration for songs. Power of luxury definitely sounds like a Kraftwerk hit. The video sums up the corruption and greed of the modern world in a catchy melody. Amazing that a little over forty years old they are still going strong. Omd definitely get better with age.
