I must've heard at least three New Order songs yesterday about people taking/spending/wasting his money.

How many songs are there in total about it?

I'm thinking about writing a song following a similar theme.

'Bernard has acquired my coin since '85'

And why the fook not???

Barney may be the first one to write the truth about relationships.  Money matters.

you waste your time like my money

you're a too expensive girl to keep

I've loosened my wallet thanx to you

you took my time and you took my money

So much for the NO as Christian rock thread.

Spending and buying is a common Barney theme.

Loveless - "I've spent a lifetime working on you...."

World - "That's the price of love... if we could buy it now...."

Crystal - "Here comes love, it's like honey, you can't buy it with money."

Slow Jam - "I spent the day all by myself.  A rich man without his wealth."

I know he's always talking about how you can/can't buy love in his lyrics very often. Infact, there's a few subjects that come up in many of the songs, makes you think he's ran out of ideas.
