“Your Portfolio” is the tenth track from John Grant’s fifth album Boy from Michigan. In the song, John imagines the US economy rewritten as a throbbing libidinous penis.
It’s [about] where we are now in The States. We worship money and any pretence that there’s any worship of anything else going on...
[Verse 1]
Your portfolio
Is much bigger than I thought
Your portfolio
Is much bigger than I had anticipated
It gets swollen and inflated
Your portfolio
Is making me wet
It makes me want to fall even deeper into debt
Your portfolio
Has razor-sharp claws
But that just makes me excited
Instead of giving me pause
[Chorus]
Automatic perfection
Information technology
Strict foreclosure
Authorization Validity Check
Hostile takeover
Statutory instrument
Non-performing Asset
I hope this is what you meant
[Post-Chorus]
Никогда не извиняйтесь за то
Чем вы стали
Всё что мы имеем
Заработали потом и кровью
[Verse 2]
Your portfolio
Has killed and it will kill again
I can't wait to feel it rubbing up against my skin
Your portfolio
Is leaking all over the floor
Your portfolio
Is making me feel like I want more
Your portfolio
Is saying all of the right things
But when it doesn't call me back
My feelings are hurt and it stings
Your portfolio
Has been seen carousing out on the town
Makes me wonder why waited up
All decked out like a clown
[Chorus]
Automatic perfection
Information technology
Strict foreclosure
Authorization Validity Check
Hostile takeover
Statutory instrument
Non-performing Asset
I hope this is what you meant
[Post-Chorus]
Никогда не извиняйтесь за то
Чем вы стали
Всё что мы имеем
Заработали потом и кровью
