Leaving Tonight

Oh, I've been living in a one-room bedsit
Old City, I'll be leaving tonight

I'd do better with a one-way ticket
Not taking from another tonight
Don't leave it, 'cause you know I'll nick it
No pity - don't you know what I'm like?

I'm looking for someone to give me what I need (More dosh, more dough)
I'm looking for the one who's gone and done it wrong again

I could get another free meal ticket...
Oh, brother! Don't you know what I like?
More money - and I know you've got it!
You're feeling like I'm leaving you light.

I'm looking for someone to give me what I want (More cash, more dough)
It's burning up my soul: you've gone and lost it all again!

I squandered all my cash on gadgets, bets and booze (God save my soul)
Good luck, it comes in ones, but bad luck comes in two's...
Two's or three's or four's, or more!

I've got letters sitting in my pocket
Poor mother, I'll be leaving tonight
I'd do better with a one-way ticket
Old City, I'll be leaving tonight

I just wanna get a one-way ticket
Gotta be a better way to survive
I'd do better with a one-way ticket
Oh, mother! I'll be leaving tonight
