Next Time
Walk inside hear the children play
No more work for another day
Colour in between the lines
Happy place in all our minds
At dinner time we talk and laugh
The scene just like a photograph
We clean our plates and ask for more
Deep in my mind I'm crying poor
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
The bills they come in regularly
I hide them so they cannot see
My works begun to dry up fast
Just trying to make the money last
With everyday my wife she cries
And pieces of my family dies
Go back to mums is her next play
She'll take the kids and move away
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Came home from work and no ones here
Been left alone my biggest fear
The bank will take our home away
To proud to ask for help to stay
Alone at night beneath the trees
An honest man brought to his knees
With just the clothes I'm wearing now
I lie awake and wonder how
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
I pray my kids remember me
Recall the man that I used to be
Before the world turned cold and dark
I played with you around the park
Make sure your mum stays happy son
Make sure your sisters having fun
I wish we were forever free
I guess it's not this time for me
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
No more work for another day
Colour in between the lines
Happy place in all our minds
At dinner time we talk and laugh
The scene just like a photograph
We clean our plates and ask for more
Deep in my mind I'm crying poor
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
The bills they come in regularly
I hide them so they cannot see
My works begun to dry up fast
Just trying to make the money last
With everyday my wife she cries
And pieces of my family dies
Go back to mums is her next play
She'll take the kids and move away
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Came home from work and no ones here
Been left alone my biggest fear
The bank will take our home away
To proud to ask for help to stay
Alone at night beneath the trees
An honest man brought to his knees
With just the clothes I'm wearing now
I lie awake and wonder how
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
I pray my kids remember me
Recall the man that I used to be
Before the world turned cold and dark
I played with you around the park
Make sure your mum stays happy son
Make sure your sisters having fun
I wish we were forever free
I guess it's not this time for me
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
Ooh well maybe Next Time
