"Money On My Mind"

When I signed my deal
I felt pressure
Don't wanna see the numbers
I wanna see heaven
You say, could you write a song for me?
I say, I'm sorry I won't do that happily

When I go home
I tend to close the door
I never wanted more
So sing with me
Can't you see

I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
[x2]

I do it for the love
I do it for the love

Please don't get me wrong
I wanna keep it moving
I know what that requires
I'm not foolish
Please, can you make this work for me?
Cause I'm not a puppet, I will work against your strings

When I go home
I tend to close the door
I never wanted more
So sing with me
Can't you see

I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
[x2]

I do it for the love
I do it for the love

When the sun will set
Don't you fret
No I have no money on my mind
No money on my mind
No money on my mind
No I have no money on my mind
[x2]

Just love

Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love

I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love

I do it for the love
I do it for the love

Sam Smith – review

Old Market, Brighton
He's still working on his stage persona, but Sam Smith has a voice made for love songs and his potential seems limitless.

"You nervous for tomorrow?" asked one of Sam Smith's 94,000 Twitter followers on the eve of his first UK tour. "Very," he replied – as well he might. Having won both the British 2014 critics , choice award and the BBC's sound of 2014 poll, the Hertfordshire-born 21-year-old is burdened with expectations. He's gone some way towards proving himself by hitting No 1 this week with Money on my Mind (and guesting on two of last year's biggest tracks, Disclosures Latch and Naughty Boys La La La , but until now he's been a voice without much of a persona.

In the black-jacketed flesh, Smith is still essentially a voice, with a sweet, self-deprecating nature attached. As British white-soul crooners go, he's perhaps the most mellifluous since Boy George; if anything, his bottom notes are richer and his well-used falsetto more stratospheric. It's a voice made for love songs, which is lucky, because that's what Smith specialises in. But he's a Romeo with a twist: as he says before performing Not in That Way, "I've never been in a relationship, so I spend a lot of time singing about unrequited love." Thus, many songs are a battle between bitter and sweet, and Smith wanly roams the stage, sharing the perverseness of being a lover man who's never been loved. Having said that, some female fans actually scream during the quiet-stormish Nirvana, so things could be on the up.

He's not yet commanding enough to keep things interesting during a saggy middle section that verges towards the middle of the road. On the other hand, give him an unlikely cover version –Arctic Monkeys Do I Wanna Know,say – and he reimagines it as exhilarating, anguished funk. Finally warmed up, he delivers Latch, Money on My Mind and La La La as a powerhouse closing trio, then returns for a quietly dramatic Lay Me Down. In these final moments, his potential seems limitless.
