Big Coin Lyrics by The Beautiful South

Quench

1998

[Verse 1]
Big coin that you toss for heads or tails
Big coin that you let slip down the drain
Big coin didn't find where it landed
Big coin, big coin
Big coin that you dropped in the river
Little raft that took you across
Little hand that pulled it from the gutter
Big coin, big coin
[Chorus 1]
It's a tiny little heart that challenges the coin
But the coin has no beat or no breath
Big coin won't even leave you a love note
Big coin, big death
[Verse 2]
Big coin that you held and you treasured
Big coin that you can't believe that you lost
Little kiss that helped you when you needed
Little kiss, big coin
Little heart that has no exchange rate
Big coin that could join the IMF
Little heart is only greedy cause it's poor
Little heart, big coin
[Chorus 2]
It's a tiny little heart that challenges the coin
But the coin has no north or no south
Big coin says it will never ever leave you
Big coin, big mouth
[Bridge]
Little heart, it ain't gold, it ain't silver
Little heart, it ain't wasted on me
Little heart, so much bigger than the coin
Little heart, big guarantee
Little heart, big guarantee...
Little heart
Little heart
Little heart
Little heart
Little heart...
[Chorus 2]
It's a tiny little heart that challenges the coin
But the coin has no north or no south
Big coin says it will never ever leave you
Big coin, big mouth
