It Was Supposed to Be so Easy |
| 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 queue’s 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 quid, 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 so easy |
