|
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 feelin' 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 bein' 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 savin' and then hurry |
|
Rushin' to the cash machine, still a bit mashed and lean |
|
Then ofcourse a mandatory car, drives by and splashes me |
|
Get there the cues outrageous, ladies takin' ages |
|
My rage is blowin' gauges, how longs it take to validate your wages? |
|
At last my turn comes, press the fifty squid button |
|
Insufficient funds |
|
Today I've achieved absolutely nought |
|
In just bein' 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 then hurry |
|
So to call my mum so that, I could tell her I can't go and that |
|
At least I remembered my phone man, I didn't know her number off hand |
|
Where's my phone have I got it, oh this is a crock of shit |
|
I lost the ****in' 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 bein' 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've failed on the DVD, couldn't 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 livin' room, ready to pick up as soon |
|
As I passed through, on the way out to the rendezvous |
|
So the shoe box full of money, just disappearing from me |
|
Is not what I call funny, a grand don't come for free |
|
Today I've achieved absolutely nought |
|
In just bein' 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 right 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 |
|
It was supposed to be easy |
