Bank of Bad Habits Lyrics


The rumors and the stories of my past I can't deny
I'm no Saint Ignatius but again I'm no barfly
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I've got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soulBank of bad habits, the price of vice foretold
One by one they'll do you in, they're bound to take their toll
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I've got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soulLast night, I said, goodbye to a dear old friend of mine
Just a throw back shell beach party, nothin' really asinine
Rum and cooked animals and bullshit by the ton
That party lasted way too long and I had too much funBank of bad habits, the price of vice foretold
One by one they'll do you in, they're bound to take their toll
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I've got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul
That bank of bad habits is worth its weight in goldTime for you to spend that dough
You're the only one you owe
So put away those alibis
You can't fool that Banker in the sky{Now let me tell you about the 7 Deadly Sins
1. Pride, Thou shalt not have pride in thy neighbor

2. Coveting, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
3. Lust, Thou shalt not lust after his neighbor's wife
4. Anger, Do not be angry with your neighbor's wife
5. Gluttony, Do not eat thy neighbor's wife's popcorn
6. Envy, Do not envy your neighbor's wife
7. Sloth, Do not be a slob
And the eighth deadly sin is, Pizza}A picture's worth a thousand words just ask a cameraman
And it's no sin to stop and look, I do it when I can
But you have to purge that urge to merge
You have to keep your head
Or trouble is what you will find inside some stranger's bedBank of bad habits, the price of vice foretold
One by one they'll do you in, they're bound to take their toll
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I've got this bank of bad habits
It's worth its weight in goldYeah, we're talkin' Krugerrands, doubloons
I was wonderin', do you think
They have an ATM machine for bad habits?
I think I'll apply for that card

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, United States) is a singer/songwriter, best known for his "island escapism" lifestyle and music including hits such as "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday". He has a rabid, but genial, cult following known as "Parrotheads." They call the youngest members "Parakeets."

Buffett has written three No. 1 best sellers. Tales from Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant? both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list. His book A Pirate Looks At Fifty went straight to No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller non-fiction list, making him one of seven authors in that list's history to have reached No. 1 on both the fiction and non-fiction lists. The other six authors who have accomplished this are Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Styron, Irving Wallace, Dr. Seuss and Mitch Albom. He also co-wrote two children's books, Jolly Mon and Trouble Dolls, with his eldest daughter, Savannah Jane Buffett.

"A Salty Piece of Land", was released on November 30, 2004, and included a CD single of the same title. The book was a New York Times best seller soon after its release.

His latest book, "Swine Not," hit bookshelves on May 13th. It's a colorful tale about a family that lives in a posh New York hotel while covertly smuggling in their pet pig named Rumpy.

On Jan 25, 2011, he did an unintentional stage dive whilst touring Australia. Thankfully, the good Mr. Buffett is a resilient bloke and was released from hospital the following day and doing fine.
