It Was Supposed to Be so Easy

歌詞

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 I fast declined But I flew a bit quick Arms like a lunatic I 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 have achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house I've lost out If I'd 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 savings and then hurry Rushing to the cash machine Still a bit mashed and lean And of course the mandatory car drives by And splashes me Get there the queue's outrageous Lady's taking ages My rage is blowing gauges How long's it take to validate your wages? At last my turn comes Press the fifty squid button Insufficient funds Today I have achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house I've lost out If I'd 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 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 fucking thing Oh here it is in my pocket But the battery's nearly flat Got to call quick snap Oh shit The battery is flat Today I have achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house I've lost out If I'd 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'd have to get the savings and hurry But where was the money? I knew I'd left it on the... Side next to the tele This is not even funny I'd left it in the living room Ready to pick up as soon As I pass through On the way to the rendezvous So the shoe box full of money Just disappearing from me Was not what I call funny A grand don't come for free Today I have achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house I've lost out If I'd wanted to end up with more now I should've just stayed in bed like I know how Oi Soaked to the bone in me jeans Do you want me to stop? I imagine me mum's weeping right now A 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 Hundred thousand pennies, no more A thousandth of a million squid or 2 monkeys or a whole fifty scores Gone Withdrawn from my life The money is no more for sure It was supposed to be so easy
