Pennies on a Plate
I've been walking round town with my laces undone
I've been trying to find a place where I can sit out in the sun
People come and ask me for pennies on a plate
I need to catch a bus, can you spare some change, mate?
People drawing pictures on the pavement at my feet
Buskers on the subway trying to keep up with the beat
The kids are milling round and the parking meter's jammed
And everyone you meet seems to need a helping hand
I'm living out on a highway
I'm grooving to the funk
Oh, it's all going my way
It's such a lot of junk
It's been 24 hours since I got off of that plane
My deadline's getting closer like a locomotive train
If I got to go and listen to that disco track again
I think I'll give up on this job, go and find a house in Spain
My adrenaline is pumping like the water from a mains
The post is piling up, these records they all sound the same
I missed my last appointment, now there's someone on the line
Come and see this band from Bristol, you will have a rocking time
I'm living out on a highway
I'm grooving to the funk
And it's all going my way
And it's such a lot of junk
Oh yeah
I'm living out on this highway
I'm grooving to the funk
It's all going my way
And it's such a lot of junk
My kids are causing havoc, got to get 'em to a gig
This one goes to that one, that one goes to this
The money's not an issue, it's the disappearing time
If you see a desperate housewife that could be one of mine
They're killing Michael Jackson, I heard it on the news
Some idiot reporter giving us his point of view
Now spring is in the air, it's time to get out of this rut
The grass is growing greener, I'll need to get that bastard cut
I'm living out on a highway
And I'm grooving to the funk, oh yeah
'Cause it's all going my way
And it's such a lot of junk
Yeah, I'm living out on a highway
I'm grooving to the funk, believe it
It's all going my way
And it's such a lot of junk
Yeah, copy of Big Issue, mate? 50 pence
Wow, South By Southwest, you shoulda been there
I'm telling you man
Kaiser Chiefs, yeah, happening
I've been trying to find a place where I can sit out in the sun
People come and ask me for pennies on a plate
I need to catch a bus, can you spare some change, mate?
People drawing pictures on the pavement at my feet
Buskers on the subway trying to keep up with the beat
The kids are milling round and the parking meter's jammed
And everyone you meet seems to need a helping hand
I'm living out on a highway
I'm grooving to the funk
Oh, it's all going my way
It's such a lot of junk
It's been 24 hours since I got off of that plane

And it's all going my way
And it's such a lot of junk
Oh yeah

I'm grooving to the funk
It's all going my way
And it's such a lot of junk
