Verse 1

What a waster, what a fucking waster
You pissed it all up the wall 
Round the corner where they chased her
There's tears coming out from everywhere 
The city's hard, the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No mind your bleeding own you two bob cunt

Instrumental

    

Verse 2

When she wakes up in the morning
She writes down all her dreams
Reads like the book of revelations
Or the Beano or the unabridged Ulysses
Oh I really wanna know
So tell me, where does all the money go
where does all the money go
Straight, straight up her nose

Instrumental

                       

Chorus 1

And I never really liked it anyway
So much preferred it the other way yeah
    

Verse 3

What a divvy what a fucking div
Talking like a moron, walking like a spiv
I was laying in bed paying my rent
She was knocking on the door for something
That she lent her brother
Meanwhile from under the covers she says
Save me from tomorrow now, save me from tomorrow now,
Oh no not me

Instrumental

                       

Chorus 2

And I never really liked it anyway
So much preferred it the other way yeah    
Never really liked it anyway
So much preferred it the other way yeah

Verse 4

What a waster, what a fucking waster
You pissed it all up the wall 
Round the corner where they chased her
There's tears coming out from everywhere 
The city's hard, the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No mind your bleeding own you two bob cunt
