The Complete Banker

The Divine Comedy

Transposer:

[Intro] C#m Bm x4 [Verse 1] Can any-one lend me ten billion quid? Why do you look so glum? Was it some-thing I did? So I caused a second great depression what can I say I guess I got a bit carried away If I say I’m sorry will you give me the money? [Chorus] You know me the complete banker In a black Bentley sweet Samantha riding Next to me oh how I hanker for the good old days (good old days) When I was free the complete banker In my Armani before the rancour and disharmony Well money makes the world go round and round and down the drain [Verse 2] We went to war on the floor of the exchange To all of us it was just a big game But God I loved it: making a profit from somebody’s loss I never knew exactly whose money it was And I did not care as long as there was [Chorus] Lots for me the complete banker In a black Bentley sweet Samantha riding Next to me oh how I hanker for the good old days (good old days) When I was free the complete banker In my Armani before the anger and the inquiries Well money makes the world go round and round and down the drain C#m Bm x4 [Verse 3] We’ll learn the lessons run tests and analyze We’ll crunch the numbers ’cause the numbers never lie Well maybe this recession is a blessing in disguise We can build a much much bigger bubble the next time And leave the rest to clean our mess up [Chorus] Well that’s just me the complete banker In a black Bentley Magaret Thatcher riding Next to me oh how I hanker for the good old days (good old days) When I was free the complete banker I’m a conscience-free malignant cancer On society And one day you’ll let your guard down And I’ll come round again

La chanson évoque le parcours d'un banquier qui, en affichant une attitude désinvolte et égoïste, se retrouve à l'origine d'une crise économique majeure. Il semble insouciant des conséquences de ses actes, prêt à minimiser la gravité de la situation et à s'excuser pour obtenir ce qu'il veut, comme de l'argent. Il se remémore les jours où il se sentait puissant et libre, tout en prenant un plaisir pervers à tirer profit des échecs des autres. Le contexte est clairement ancré dans critique du monde de la finance, où les acteurs du secteur, représentés par ce banquier, semblent être déconnectés des réalités humaines et des répercussions de leurs décisions. La chanson met en lumière cette culture du profit à tout prix, illustrant l’appât du gain et lui donnant un visage cynique.
