CASH MACHINE is a cover of Oliver Tree that I pop'd up a bit. It is lighter, faster and more serene - mainly because I didn't drop D the guitars so it naturally took on a different vibe. I love the original and wanted to emulate it pretty closely with my own flavour and style which is guessing - A LOT. I don’t really know if the harmonies are the same and I changed some words here and there as well, but for the most part it is very similar. I love it because it is really true to the original but feels fresh and unique at the same time. I learnt a lot about production whilst recreating this and it has made me a better producer for it.
lyrics
Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're glowing like a diamond ring
I saw you bought some other things
You're spending like a cash machine
To cover up your insecurities
Don't front, no need
When is it enough?
How bad do you need that stuff?
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
When is it enough?
Turns out you don't need that stuff
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're not fooling us all
Someone tell me something
Shut up and take my money
I've got pockets full of gold
No, I don't owe nothing
Stop acting funny
I've seen greedy people hungry
Up in swarms, I've seen them running
Coming for more
When is it enough?
How bad do you need that stuff?
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
When is it enough?
How bad do you need that stuff?
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're not fooling us all
