Streets - It Was Supposed To Be So Easy lyrics

rate me

It was supposed to be so easy<br />

Just take back the DVD, withdraw that extra money<br />

Tell mum I wouldn't be back for tea, then grab my savings and hurry<br />

So first to get the film back in time, to avoid that big fine<br />

I had to do a fast hill climb, but a faster decline<br />

But I flew a bit quick, arms like a lunatic<br />

Had to stop for a few ticks, I started feeling sick<br />

Got to the video shop in a state, but chuffed it wouldn't be late<br />

Only when he flicked open the case, I'd left the disc at my place<br />

Today I've achieved absolutely nought<br />

In just being out of the house, I've lost out<br />

If I wanted to end up with more now<br />

I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how<br />

So I failed on the DVD, but I still had to get the money<br />

Tell mum I couldn't make tea, get the saving and then hurry<br />

Rushing to the cash machine, still a bit mashed and lean<br />

Then of course a mandatory car, drives by and splashes me<br />

Get there the queue's outrageous, ladies taking ages<br />

My rage is blowing gauges, how longs it take to validate your wages?<br />

At last my turn comes, press the 50 quid button<br />

Insufficient funds<br />

Today I've achieved absolutely nought<br />

In just being out of the house, I've lost out<br />

If I wanted to end up with more now<br />

I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how<br />

So I failed on the DVD, couldn't withdraw any money<br />

But I still had to call mum, get the savings and hurry<br />

So to call mum so that, I could tell her I can't go and that<br />

At least I remembered my phone man, I didn't know her number offhand<br />

Where's my phone have I got it, Oh this is a crock of shit<br />

I lost the fucking thing, oh here it is in my pocket<br />

But the batteries nearly flat, gotta call quick snap<br />

Aww shit, the battery is flat<br />

Today I've achieved absolutely nought<br />

In just being out of the house, I've lost out<br />

If I wanted to end up with more now<br />

I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how<br />

So Ive failed on the DVD, couldnt withdraw any money<br />

Or call mum about tea, I'll have to get the savings and hurry<br />

But where was the money, I knew I'd left it on the<br />

Side, next to the telly, this is not even funny<br />

I left it in the living room, ready to pick up as soon<br />

As I passed through, on the way out to the rendevous<br />

So the shoebox full of money, just disappearing from me<br />

Is not what I call funny, a grand don't come for free<br />

Today I've achieved absolutely nought<br />

In just being out of the house, I've lost out<br />

If I wanted to end up with more now<br />

I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how<br />

<br />

(Oi, soaked to the bone in my jeans, do you want me to stop?<br />

I imagine my mums weaping right now<br />

And the thousand pounds you swore, that I left on the table this morn<br />

Has simply disappeared before my eyes, his eyes and yours<br />

And I'm a thousand pounds poorer, a hundred thousand pennies, no more<br />

A thousandth of a million quid, or two monkeys or a whole fifty scores<br />

Gone withdrawn from my life, the money is no more for sure)<br />

It was supposed to be so easy
