Victor Freedom has left his job in the Bank, and bought the corner store

Lyrics

Paper Fortune$ Corner Store Concept

In Victor?s corner store, customers are inquisitive of their new shopkeeper and his background as a banker?

Victor Freedom Corner Store Concept

The corner store concept is dead, some have said
They now shop at big supermarkets instead
FRANK & CHERYL:
Much cheaper for smokes, milk, salami and bread
Why don?t you go back to your banking?
VICTOR FREEDOM
I?ll tell you how banking has changed in my day
How shaping their share price has led men astray
Now there?s less branches, long service delay
I?ll never go back to banking!

I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give
I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give
ALL OF THE CUSTOMERS:
What about early starts? Up before five!
VICTOR FREEDOM
Before the sun rises, to feel so alive
Preparing to prosper, not just to survive
I couldn?t do that in my banking
Long days don?t bug me and ?what price a smile??
Don?t you remember that beam on your dial
That tells me you?re happy, not flat as a tile
They don?t smile much now in their banking!

I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give
I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give


I love my new life, my banking?s no loss
The feeling of freedom, to be my own boss
To find the right way in a world going wrong
Where others are weakening, to feel I am strong

I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give
I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give

CUSTOMERS:
You had to change the life you live
We know you have much more to give
You had to change the life you live
We know you have much more to give
VICTOR:
I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give
I had to change the life I live
I know I have much more to give
