Grub Street

I owe rent for torment on Grub Street
George Gissing and Gulley Jimson on Grub Street

You bedazzled me with cheery smiles
Polaroids and bedroom wiles
You were destined to be great
All your portraits hung in the Tate

I can't afford a Smith-Corona on Grub Street
A thousand words an hour on Grub Street

I should have never co-signed that loan
Before you stole everything that I own
No, I shouldn't have made that bet
To put me so much deeper in debt

I can't draw to save my life on Grub Street
But I can paint a picture of you from Grub Street

It was just a matter of course
Signing papers for our divorce
Now I live beside a money lender
A slum lord and a sex offender

And, now I owe rent for torment on Grub Street
I can't afford a Smith-Corona
George Gissing and Gulley Jimson on Grub Street
A thousand words an hour
I can't draw to save my life on Grub Street
But I can paint a picture of you
Yeah, I can paint a picture of you
I can paint a picture of you
I can paint a picture of you
