It was supposed to be so easy
|
Just take back the DVD, withdraw that extra money
|
Tell mum I wouldn't be back for tea, then grab my savings and hurry
|
So first to get the film back in time, to avoid that big fine
|
I had to do a fast hill climb, but a faster decline
|
But I flew a bit quick, arms like a lunatic
|
Had to stop for a few ticks, I started feeling sick
|
Got to the video shop in a state, but chuffed it wouldn't be late
|
Only when he flicked open the case, I'd left the disc at my place
|
Today I've achieved absolutely nought
|
In just being out of the house, I've lost out
|
If I wanted to end up with more now
|
I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how
|
So I failed on the DVD, but I still had to get the money
|
Tell mum I couldn't make tea, get the saving and then hurry
|
Rushing to the cash machine, still a bit mashed and lean
|
Then of course a mandatory car, drives by and splashes me
|
Get there the cues outrageous, ladies taking ages
|
My rage is blowing gauges, how longs it take to validate your wages?
|
At last my turn comes, press the 50 squid button
|
Insufficient funds
|
Today I've achieved absolutely nought
|
In just being out of the house, I've lost out
|
If I wanted to end up with more now
|
I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how
|
So I failed on the DVD, couldn't withdraw any money
|
But I still had to call mum, get the savings and hurry
|
So to call mum so that, I could tell her I cant go and that
|
At least I remembered my phone man, I didn't know her number offhand
|
Where's my phone have I got it, Oh this is a crock of shit
|
I lost the fucking thing, oh here it is in my pocket
|
But the batteries nearly flat, gotta call quick snap
|
Aww shit, the battery is flat
|
Today I've achieved absolutely nought
|
In just being out of the house, I've lost out
|
If I wanted to end up with more now
|
I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how
|
So Ive failed on the DVD, couldnt withdraw any money
|
Or call mum about tea, I'll have to get the savings and hurry
|
But where was the money, I knew I'd left it on the
|
Side, next to the telly, this is not even funny
|
I left it in the living room, ready to pick up as soon
|
As I passed through, on the way out to the rendevous
|
So the shoebox full of money, just disappearing from me
|
Is not what I call funny, a grand dont come for free
|
Today I've achieved absolutely nought
|
In just being out of the house, I've lost out
|
If I wanted to end up with more now
|
I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how
|
|
(Oi, soaked to the bone in my jeans, do you want me to stop?
|
I imagine my mums weaping right now
|
And the thousand pounds you swore, that I left on the table this morn
|
Has simply disappeared before my eyes, his eyes and yours
|
And I'm a thousand pounds poorer, a hundred thousand pennies, no more
|
A thousandth of a million squid, or two monkeys or a whole fifty scores
|
Gone withdrawn from my life, the money is no more for sure)
