I need something in my life to straighten me out
|
Let's rent this shed, we'll do vocals in the bog
|
Call toast PR tell 'em we've opened up shop
|
Campaign meetings at Warner, no coke and not drunk
|
3 years to make this work, or look a joke and be broke
|
Blag their lawyers like the con with a dog
|
And there'll be no more straight scores to drop and keep dropping
|
Settle my gross addictions with my net and come
|
Tell my mum over tea that my whole life's fucking up
|
We've got two fifty grand in the budget to go
|
Subtract five for club promo
|
Lose five for a good video and fifteen for a dud video, fuck that
|
|
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
|
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
|
|
Mayhem textes me about the press and TV
|
See if I've taken any Es
|
So I can get some sleep
|
Nap on the settee, the laptop next to me
|
Wince for my family at the skinner scandal of the week
|
TV pluggers, product managers straight up
|
Club promo needs to step up, help it work
|
Stick to our guns, don't crack to demands
|
Tell my mum in the car, that the car might have to go back
|
Two hundred and twenty five grand
|
Twenty six grand for a showcase
|
And five more on tour support and support story
|
|
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
|
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
|
|
We'll never get bankrupt if we never have a go
|
This is no ordinary able, I need to flash up my flow
|
Go into Morris stead as well as saville row
|
I want a pin-stripe suit that no man owns
|
Cash in the Kano beat for the silver shadow
|
Send it to warrior for the flash and the glow
|
The safest way to double your money is to fold it in your pocket
|
Tell my mum during breakfast that I got no sleep
|
Eight grand paid in September, April, may and December
|
If this keeps going so well, this is going to be the end of us
|
|
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
|
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
|
|
In spread betting it's easy to draw a small fortune start
|
With a big fortune and lose into a small fortune
|
Haven't got a clue, we blindly charge on
|
Death threats from a boy of the girl I sarged on
|
She said she didn't have a bloke, another lesson marked down
|
Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're marked on
|
Get scans of reviews, we beg to chart up
|
Tell my mum over tea, the press have started up
|
We've spent a fortune
|
'Cause with ghost buying it's the end for tune
|
We need to sell some records soon
|
|
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
|
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
|
|
It's the hardest way to make an easy living

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
