Life On The Streets

Stagger through town with a
Skinful of beer in you
Trip over boxes, or
So it appears to you
Boxes that move and that
Curse and then scream at you
Somebody's bed and you
Just kicked them in the head

Not your fault, well how
Could you have guessed?
And they shouldn't be sleeping there
Making a mess
Begging for pennies and
Making you nervous
Smackheads and alkies
Paedos and perverts

Life on the streets

Boss wants a word, there's a
Bit of a problem
Sorry old chap but your
Role is redundant
Down to the Job Centre
Looking for charity
Landlord is chasing for
Rent money constantly

So it starts with a
Small loan to help you pay
With an interest rate
That takes your breath away
Down you spiral with
Debt that's beyond belief
'Til it all gets too much and you
Hand back the keys

Life on the streets
Life on the streets

Sofa surfing, your
Mates are supporting you
But there's only so
Long they'll put up with you
Well you've still got the car
You can sleep in there
'Til they take it to
Pay off your creditors

Down and out, there's no
Way to climb back so you
Bite the bullet and
Get in that sleeping bag
In a doorway, you're
Out of the rain with a
Can in your hand and with
Fear in your brain

Life on the streets
Life on the streets
Life on the streets
Life on the streets
