Pauper
Calling you in L.A.
I think I've found a new career today
I'm a pauper
At 6 o'clock I am up
I put a used tea cup into my cup
And cold water
I'm busy doing nothing cos there's nothing else to do ]
And when I finished doing it I'll call you ] (Chorus)
I put on my holey blue jeans
I toast my bread and warm my No Frills beans
In the sunshine
I walk around in the park
I read a big thick book until it's dark
And I feel fine
(Chorus)
Hey, can you spare one hundred and fifty pounds ]
For an expensive album ]
Hey, can you lend me your cigarettes, house and car ]
For a few decades of fun ] (Middle 8)
Calling up from below
Can you feel my black nails scratch the soles
Of your feet
I've made some room for you now
Cos I know one day you will fall down
And join me
(Chorus)
(Middle 8)
I think I've found a new career today
I'm a pauper
At 6 o'clock I am up
I put a used tea cup into my cup

I put on my holey blue jeans
I toast my bread and warm my No Frills beans
In the sunshine

I read a big thick book until it's dark
And I feel fine
(Chorus)
Hey, can you spare one hundred and fifty pounds ]
For an expensive album ]
Hey, can you lend me your cigarettes, house and car ]

Calling up from below
Can you feel my black nails scratch the soles
Of your feet

Cos I know one day you will fall down
And join me
(Chorus)
