It was supposed to be so easy Just take back the DVD, withdraw that extra money Tell mum I wouldn't be back for tea, then grab my savings and hurry So first to get the film back in time, to avoid that big fine I had to do a fast hill climb, but a faster decline But I flew a bit quick, arms like a lunatic Had to stop for a few ticks, I started feeling sick Got to the video shop in a state, but chuffed it wouldn't be late Only when he flicked open the case, I'd left the disc at my place Today I've achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house, I've lost out If I wanted to end up with more now I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how So I failed on the DVD, but I still had to get the money Tell mum I couldn't make tea, get the saving and then hurry Rushing to the cash machine, still a bit mashed and lean Then of course a mandatory car, drives by and splashes me Get there the queue's outrageous, ladies taking ages My rage is blowing gauges, how longs it take to validate your wages? At last my turn comes, press the 50 squid button Insufficient funds Today I've achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house, I've lost out If I wanted to end up with more now I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how So I failed on the DVD, couldn't withdraw any money But I still had to call mum, get the savings and hurry So to call mum so that, I could tell her I cant go and that At least I remembered my phone man, I didn't know her number offhand Where's my phone have I got it, Oh this is a crock of shit I lost the fucking thing, oh here it is in my pocket But the batteries nearly flat, gotta call quick snap Aww shit, the battery is flat Today I've achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house, I've lost out If I wanted to end up with more now I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how So Ive failed on the DVD, couldnt withdraw any money Or call mum about tea, I'll have to get the savings and hurry But where was the money, I knew I'd left it on the Side, next to the telly, this is not even funny I left it in the living room, ready to pick up as soon As I passed through, on the way out to the rendevous So the shoebox full of money, just disappearing from me Is not what I call funny, a grand dont come for free Today I've achieved absolutely nought In just being out of the house, I've lost out If I wanted to end up with more now I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how (Oi, soaked to the bone in my jeans, do you want me to stop? I imagine my mums weaping right now And the thousand pounds you swore, that I left on the table this morn Has simply disappeared before my eyes, his eyes and yours And I'm a thousand pounds poorer, a hundred thousand pennies, no more A thousandth of a million quid, or two monkeys or a whole fifty scores Gone withdrawn from my life, the money is no more for sure) It was supposed to be so easy

The pain that I've found I wonder if it slows where I'm bound The pain that I've found I wonder if it slows where I'm bound It's a strange life that shapes me Breathe deep on old memories I was the blonde child with the milk skin I had bad lungs they said was way too thin At fourteen I was terrified I wanted guts but then my stomach died I was 24 when I saw the truth That love burns You said it'd be easy You said it'd be easy I never said it was easy The pain that I've found I wonder if it slows where I'm bound The pain that I've found (You said it'd be easy) It slows where I'm bound (You said it was easy) The pain that I've found It slows where I'm bound

I spent half my life down a dead end road This honky tonk living, is all I know I'm a roughneck who's wrote a few songs I gave it all I got to have what's on my back It's a hard-earned dollar when you make your own path Ask my babies I never had my own 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song I've been in some places I never should've gone Did a little bit of right, and a whole lot of wrong I was hell-bound, Lord knows I didn't stand a chance But he sent me an angel who was there all along She's still waiting there right back at home And these other girls, Lord knows I never give 'em a second glance 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song

Hey baby, it's getting late now And the years are rollin' on Ain't no time to take it easy now We been goin' too long It's dirty, it's a pity And time ain't exactly on our side That ain't no reason now Not to give it a try Don't look inside the mirror Your time is drawing nearer How many dues do I have to pay Before they take my soul away? Sick of being unforgiven But there's blue skies overhead A dirty way to make a livin', yeah But somebody's got to do it I'm a lover, not a loser I'm a lonely heart's one night stand Not a penny in my pocket Nor a dime in my hand Don't look inside the mirror Your time is drawing nearer How many dues do I have to pay Before they take my soul away? If you've been hurt by love before You don't think you can take anymore I think it's about time you evened the score Let's hit the door Nobody said it was easy Nobody said it was easy Nobody said it was easy Nobody said it was easy Nobody said it was easy Nobody said it was easy Nobody said it was easy

I'm starting to have doubts Aren't i screaming so loud? Can you even hear my prayers through them clouds? I'm starting to have doubts Aren't i screaming so loud? I don't know when will i learn I feel numb Coz you're gone I don't know when will i learn I feel numb Coz you're gone I don't know when will i learn I feel numb Coz you're gone I don't know when will i learn I feel numb Coz you're gone I don't know when will i learn
