Streets - Not Addicted lyrics

rate me

It's his lucky day, that's a given <br />

He'll tick the box on the slip, and then just watch and learn <br />

He's not addicted, he can stop anytime <br />

But this is gonna pay, he feels it this one'll be fine <br />

This time I know Im gonna smash the bet <br />

I foresee it smacked in the back of the net <br />

Men grip slips, wipe their hands that sweat <br />

The camera pans the away fans end <br />

Twenty quid for blues to thrash the reds <br />

Then cash that cash, when the ref has said <br />

My mates out, his pads a mess <br />

Its getting late, I've not dashed yet <br />

The question I have to ask myself <br />

Is can I see us not battering them? <br />

If I can't see that, happening then <br />

Im gonna put all my money down on one fat bet <br />

Now I don't know the first thing about football <br />

But my instincts tell me this is my windfall <br />

It's his lucky day, that's a given <br />

He'll tick the box on the slip, and then just watch and learn <br />

He's not addicted, he can stop anytime <br />

But this is gonna pay, he feels it this one'll be fine <br />

This time I know I woulda cashed the lot <br />

I woulda held in my hand the whole jackpot <br />

The games won, the ends have a swap <br />

2-0 up they're getting mashed up <br />

But I wont win now, the chance flopped <br />

Cause I couldnt make it to the damn shop <br />

Might aswell put tea in that pot <br />

Ive got nowhere else I have to bop <br />

The question I have to ask one <br />

Is how I managed, not to manage the trot <br />

Maybe I could phone in and slap it on <br />

Put all my money on a mid-match one <br />

Yes, I don't know the first thing about football <br />

But my instincts tell me this is my windfall <br />

It's his lucky day, that's a given <br />

He'll tick the box on the slip, and then just watch and learn <br />

He's not addicted, he can stop anytime <br />

But this is gonna pay, he feels it this one'll be fine <br />

Shit, I'm mad glad I didn't back that match <br />

Suppose to be an unproblematic catch <br />

Full time the whistle blasted after <br />

The last passer, passed the last pass <br />

Would you believe how we fell back <br />

Three goals lost in the last half <br />

So glad I was stranded back at the flat <br />

Wincing at every goal we let em have <br />

The question I now have to ask <br />

Is how the fuck did we get smashed that bad? <br />

I just very, very nearly, nearly <br />

Lost every penny of all my cash <br />

Yes, I don't know the first thing about football <br />

And my instincts almost led me to a pitfall <br />

It's his lucky day, that was barmy <br />

He didn't tick the box on the slip, and what a relief <br />

He's not addicted, he can stop anytime <br />

But next time he will be more lucky, next time he'll be fined <br />

[x2]<br />

I need to rethink the technique of my betting shit <br />

Maybe change the parameters a little bit <br />

Instead of betting on to win the football <br />

I'll bet to lose the cricket
