Skrewdriver - Pennies From Heaven lyrics

rate me

Walking 'round the streets, one place to another

I feel like I lost out on a will

No you don't come here

Yes you've got to go there as well

Wait here a minute, but I've been here three hours

My legs are aching 'cos the seats have all gone

Hey you over there, there's a cubicle spare

So come 'ere

Chorus:

Honey, I need money

Money to find my way

I ain't had a bite since Saturday night

And that is now three days

She looked at me like I'm some sort of beggar

You know it's hard to keep your temper at times

You don't know what to pay 'cos

Your being out of work is a crime, yes a crime.

We decided after thinking, your career is sinking

So we'll offer you a twenty a week

Who was it that said, it was the Bible I read

Said the ones that inherit are meek

(Repeat Chorus)

One minute I'm in Camden, the next I'm in Eusson

Then they send me back to Kentish Town

I've completed lap two, there's a hole in my shoe

And I'm down, yes I'm down

It's been such an ordeal, and the way that I feel

When I get a letter next day

Saying there's something down here, that we need to clear up

And if you don't come, you don't get paid

(Repeat Chorus) x2
