Fall, The - Couldn`t Get Ahead слова песни
Couldn`t get ahead
I just couldn`t get ahead
Come out of pub, the shop is closed
Come out of pub, Harry wants to know
When the next bus is
I said five or ten minutes
I had my change in my hands
The bus flashes past.
My hands are caught
Couldn`t get ahead. I just couldn`t get ahead.
In a week, earned money for month
Got all my jobs done
My eyelids were sick of it
Gist was I could sleep for a day?
But bad bills have no respect for a decent man`s rest
Flopping on the doorstep
Outlined in color red
Couldn`t get ahead. Just couldn`t get ahead.
On an Asiatic plane with wings not of the grain
Toilet queue was endless
Couldn`t get a beer
The hostesses were muslims
When I get in toilet,
Light flashes: "Return to seat."
I feared withdrawal
And I feared beer was making sludge of my head.
Couldn`t get ahead. Just couldn`t get ahead.
Now my problems are solved
It`s a remedy of old
I pretend I`m blind you see
Put on some Armani clothes
And act like ET
Where I`m at is a cabbage patch,
no longer strewn with weeds
Have a Ghandi at me
Colour mags wish me well
No more, no get ahead.
Couldn`t get ahead. Just couldn`t get ahead.
