about

The fourth single from Tashi Delay, Deception, is written in the rhyming cadence of The Owl and the Pussycat. It depicts the Politician and The Banker and the despicable things they do while stealing other people's money. With recognizable figures coming to life in the music video, this political satire shows how they mishandle their responsibility, all set against a catchy summer pop jam.

lyrics

I
Politician and the Banker went to sea in a beautiful Lazzara yacht,
They took champers, and plenty of hampers, plan was to drink a lot.
Politician looked at their chart, And realized that they were lost,
‘Hey Banker you’re really not that smart,
We’ve crossed the same ocean for days, And days, And days.
II
Banker said to the Politician, ‘What a jumped up suspicion!
You really are a shit!
It’s to confuse the cops, they’ll be searching non stop I’m a clever boy you have to admit. ‘
Sailed away for a year and a day,
To the land where the wealthy played.
And in the harbor dwelled a once famous Barber, yeah Ferraris were now his trade,
His trade,
His trade,

III
’Dear Barber, are you willing to sell for nine denarii your ferrari?’ He will.’
So they drove it away, to go play croquet,
With the bishop that lived on the hill.
They dinned on caviar, they really are particular,
They eat with a silver spoon;
And when they drive their car, the diamonds take them far, run over meager hearts.
They dinned on caviar, they aren’t particular,They eat with a silver spoon; And when they drive their car, the diamonds take them far, run over meager hearts.

Politician and the banker, went to sea on a beautiful lazzara yacht.
 Had money, without any worry, and all they did was drain the lot.
