Streets - The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living lyrics

rate me

I need something in my life to straighten me out<br />

Let's rent this shed, we'll do vocals in the bog<br />

Call toast PR tell 'em we've opened up shop<br />

Campaign meetings at Warner, no coke and not drunk<br />

3 years to make this work, or look a joke and be broke<br />

Blag their lawyers like the con with a dog<br />

And there'll be no more straight scores to drop and keep dropping<br />

Settle my gross addictions with my net and come<br />

Tell my mum over tea that my whole life's fucking up<br />

We've got two fifty grand in the budget to go<br />

Subtract five for club promo<br />

Lose five for a good video and fifteen for a dud video, fuck that<br />

<br />

It's the hardest way to make an easy living<br />

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery<br />

<br />

Mayhem textes me about the press and TV<br />

See if I've taken any Es<br />

So I can get some sleep<br />

Nap on the settee, the laptop next to me<br />

Wince for my family at the skinner scandal of the week<br />

TV pluggers, product managers straight up<br />

Club promo needs to step up, help it work<br />

Stick to our guns, don't crack to demands<br />

Tell my mum in the car, that the car might have to go back<br />

Two hundred and twenty five grand<br />

Twenty six grand for a showcase<br />

And five more on tour support and support story<br />

<br />

It's the hardest way to make an easy living<br />

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery<br />

<br />

We'll never get bankrupt if we never have a go<br />

This is no ordinary able, I need to flash up my flow<br />

Go into Morris stead as well as saville row<br />

I want a pin-stripe suit that no man owns<br />

Cash in the Kano beat for the silver shadow<br />

Send it to warrior for the flash and the glow<br />

The safest way to double your money is to fold it in your pocket<br />

Tell my mum during breakfast that I got no sleep<br />

Eight grand paid in September, April, may and December<br />

If this keeps going so well, this is going to be the end of us<br />

<br />

It's the hardest way to make an easy living<br />

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery<br />

<br />

In spread betting it's easy to draw a small fortune start<br />

With a big fortune and lose into a small fortune<br />

Haven't got a clue, we blindly charge on<br />

Death threats from a boy of the girl I sarged on<br />

She said she didn't have a bloke, another lesson marked down<br />

Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're marked on<br />

Get scans of reviews, we beg to chart up<br />

Tell my mum over tea, the press have started up<br />

We've spent a fortune<br />

'Cause with ghost buying it's the end for tune<br />

We need to sell some records soon<br />

<br />

It's the hardest way to make an easy living<br />

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery<br />

<br />

It's the hardest way to make an easy living<br />

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
