Not Addicted |
| It’s his lucky day, that’s a given |
| He’ll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn |
| He’s not addicted, he can stop anytime |
| But this is gonna pay, he feels it, this one’ll be fine |
| This time I know I’m gonna smash the bet |
| I foresee it smacked in the back of the net |
| Men grip slips, wipe their hands of sweat |
| The camera pans the away fans end |
| Twenty quid for Blues to thrash the Reds |
| Then cash that cash when the ref has said |
| My mate’s out, his pad’s a mess |
| It’s getting late, I’ve not dashed yet |
| Oi, the question I have to ask myself |
| Is can I see us not battering them? |
| If I can’t see that happening then |
| I’m gonna put all my money down on one fat bet |
| Now I don’t know the first thing about football |
| But my instincts tell me this is my windfall |
| It’s his lucky day, that’s a given |
| He’ll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn |
| He’s not addicted, he can stop anytime |
| But this is gonna pay, he feels it, this one’ll be fine |
| This time I know I would’ve cashed the lot |
| I would’ve held in my hand the whole jackpot |
| The game’s won, the ends have a swap |
| Two-nil up, they’re getting mashed up |
| But I won’t win now, the chance flopped |
| 'Cause I couldn’t make it to the damn shop |
| Might as well put tea in that pot |
| I’ve got nowhere else I have to bop |
| The question I have to ask one |
| Is how I managed not to manage the trot |
| Maybe I could phone in and slap it on |
| Put all my money on a mid-match one |
| Yes, I don’t know the first thing about football |
| But my instincts tell me this is my windfall |
| It’s his lucky day, that’s a given |
| He’ll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn |
| He’s not addicted, he can stop anytime |
| But this is gonna pay, he feels it, this one’ll be fine |
| Hmm, shit, I’m mad glad I didn’t back that match |
| Supposed to be an unproblematic catch |
| Full time, the whistle blasted after |
| And the last passer passed the last pass |
| Would you believe how we fell back? |
| Three goals lost in the last half |
| So glad I was stranded back at the flat |
| Wincing at every goal we let 'em have |
| The question I now have to ask |
| Is how the fuck did we get smashed that bad? |
| I just very, very nearly, nearly |
| Lost every penny of all my cash |
| Yes, I don’t know the first thing about football |
| And my instincts almost led me to a pitfall |
| It’s his lucky day, that was barmy |
| He didn’t tick that box on the slip and what a relief |
| He’s not addicted, he can stop anytime |
| But next time he will be more lucky, next time he’ll be fine |
| It’s his lucky day, that was barmy |
| He didn’t tick that box on the slip and what a relief |
| He’s not addicted, he can stop anytime |
| But next time he will be more lucky, next time he’ll be fine |
| I need to rethink the technique of my betting shit |
| Maybe change the parameters a little bit |
| Instead of betting on to win the football |
| I’ll bet to lose the cricket |
