It Was Supposed to be So Easy — текст песни (The Streets)

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

[Chorus]
Today I have achieved absolutely naught
In just being out of the house, I`ve lost out
If I wanted to end up with more now
I should have 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 savings and then hurry
Rushin` 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 long`s it take to validate your wages?
At last my turn comes
Press the 50 squid button: Insufficient funds

[Chorus]

So I failed on the DVD
Couldn`t withdraw any money
But I still had to call mum
Get the savings, and then hurry
So to call mum so that
I could tell her I can`t 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
Wait, wait, it`s in my pocket
But the batteries nearly flat
Got to call, quick snap
Aww shit, the battery is flat

[Chorus]

So I`ve failed on the DVD
Couldn`t 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 rendezvous
So the shoebox full of money
Just disappearing from me
That`s not what I call funny
+A grand don`t come for free+

[Chorus]

Oy, soaked to the bone in me jeans
You want me to stop?
I imagine my mum`s weeping 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
Hundred thousand pennies, no more
A thousandth of a million squid
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Gone, withdrawn, from my life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...
