[00:11.19]It was supposed to be so easy
[00:14.67]
[00:15.77]Just take back the DVD
[00:17.92]Withdraw that extra money
[00:19.90]Tell mum I wouldn't be back for tea
[00:21.50]Then grab my savings and hurry
[00:23.18]
[00:24.00]So first to get the film back in time
[00:26.50]To avoid that big fine
[00:28.08]I had to do a fast hill climb
[00:29.66]But a faster decline
[00:30.93]
[00:31.48]But I flew a bit quick
[00:33.08]Arms like a lunatic
[00:34.97]Had to stop for a few ticks
[00:36.75]I started feeling sick
[00:38.14]
[00:38.68]Got to the video shop in a state
[00:40.77]But chuffed it wouldn't be late
[00:42.77]Only when he flicked open the case
[00:44.39]I'd left the disc at my place
[00:45.75]Today I have achieved absolutely now
[00:48.69]
[00:49.20]In just being out of the house I've lost out
[00:52.38]
[00:52.93]If I wanted to end up with more now
[00:56.41]I should have just stayed in bed like I know how
[00:59.97]So I failed on the DVD
[01:02.17]But I still had to get the money
[01:03.98]Tell mum I couldn't make tea
[01:05.40]Get the savings and then hurry
[01:07.81]Rushin' to the cash machine
[01:09.86]Still a bit mashed and lean
[01:11.37]
[01:11.90]Then of course a mandatory car
[01:13.75]Drives by and splashes me
[01:15.78]Get there the queue's outrageous
[01:17.97]Ladies taking ages
[01:19.65]My rage is blowing gauges
[01:21.46]How long's it take to validate your wages
[01:24.12]At last my turn comes
[01:26.19]Press the 50 squid button
[01:27.64]
[01:28.46]Insufficient funds
[01:29.63]Today I have achieved absolutely now
[01:33.34]In just being out of the house I've lost out
[01:37.15]If I wanted to end up with more now
[01:40.70]I should have just stayed in bed like I know how
[01:44.26]So I failed on the DVD
[01:46.50]Couldn't withdraw any money
[01:48.32]But I still had to call mum
[01:49.71]Get the savings and then hurry
[01:51.53]
[01:52.16]So to call my mum so that
[01:54.30]I could tell her I can't go and that
[01:56.53]At least I remembered my phone man
[01:58.23]I didn't know her number offhand
[01:59.69]
[02:00.26]Where's my phone have I got it
[02:02.02]Oh this is a crock of shit
[02:03.98]I lost the f**king thing
[02:05.31]
[02:05.84]Wait wait it's in my pocket
[02:07.71]But the batteries nearly flat
[02:09.55]Got to call quick snap
[02:11.29]Aww shit the battery is flat
[02:14.24]Today I have achieved absolutely now
[02:17.76]In just being out of the house I've lost out
[02:21.47]If I wanted to end up with more now
[02:25.07]I should have just stayed in bed like I know how
[02:28.63]So I've failed on the DVD
[02:30.92]Couldn't withdraw any money
[02:32.86]Or call mum about tea
[02:34.33]I'll have to get the savings and hurry
[02:36.61]But where was the money
[02:38.33]I knew I'd left it on the
[02:40.11]Side next to the telly
[02:41.40]
[02:42.00]This is not even funny
[02:43.82]I left it in the living room
[02:45.54]Ready to pick up as soon
[02:46.79]As I passed through
[02:47.93]On the way out to the rendezvous
[02:49.71]
[02:50.53]So the shoebox full of money
[02:52.45]Just disappearing from me
[02:54.44]That's not what I call funny
[02:56.33]A grand don't come for free
[02:58.31]Today I have achieved absolutely now
[03:01.81]In just being out of the house I've lost out
[03:05.32]
[03:05.84]If I wanted to end up with more now
[03:09.41]I should have just stayed in bed like I know how
[03:13.13]Oy soaked to the bone in me jeans
[03:15.90]You want me to stop
[03:17.14]
[03:17.83]I imagine my mum's weeping right now
[03:19.73]
[03:20.87]And the thousand pounds you swore
[03:22.92]That I left on the table this morn
[03:25.03]Has simply disappeared before my eyes his eyes and yours
[03:29.00]And I'm a thousand pounds poorer
[03:30.97]Hundred thousand pennies no more
[03:33.01]A thousandth of a million squid
[03:34.80]Or two monkeys
[03:35.99]Or a whole fifty scores
[03:38.15]Gone withdrawn from my life
[03:40.67]
[03:41.22]The money is no more for sure
[03:43.24]
[03:49.60]It was supposed to be so easy
