Recession Blues

Can't afford to buy a car.
Can't afford to drive it.
My current expenditures already through the roof.
Can't afford a MacBook
Can't afford to waste my time
I've got debts so large, I'll make you jealous.
The value of a solid gold house on a quiet terrace.
I've got recession blues.
Thats the latest news.
The weathers up next, I bet that its gonna rain.
A dollar says it does, a dollar says it does.
I've got recession blues.
Its everyday's news.
Morning noon and night, 24 hours a day.
Everyday we pay, its everyday we pay.
Can't afford the therapy.
Can't afford to lose my mind.
Its one or the other in this place in time.
Can't afford to break a fifty
To pay for my daughters drug addiction.
Can't let her go cold turkey, she will die, I'll just lie on the ground and pour myself another bowl of wine.
I've got recession blues.
Thats the latest news.
The weathers up next, I bet that its gonna rain.
A dollar says it does, a dollar says it does.
I've got recession blues.
Its everyday's news.
Morning noon and night, 24 hours a day.
Everyday we pay, its everyday we pay.

Can't afford a funeral.
Can't afford a four foot coffin.
Can't afford to let her down.
Can't afford to watch her drown.
I've got recession blues.
Now I'm in my daughters shoes.
I dont care about anything, anybody, anymore.
I've never seen these pills before.
Pills before, Pills before.

I tell stories of dreams, memories and fictionous scenarios. I write lyrics to songs that will never be sung. 20 years young, hurt by love, but refuse to give in.

My Friend

Why is it so cold out tonight. The winds tearing at my whispery grey beard, again. I shift body weight to keep my chin away from the bitterness of night.

Too many Vodkas the night before, Wake up in another bed feeling like a whore. Make up smudged around your eyes, Your smile tells a thousand lies. You feel like your in a hamster wheel.

Its A Plebs' Life

Watching the people walk on by Seeing hope and pain as I catch their eye Hands in their pockets or pushing a pram I wouldn't be them, would they be what I am.

No Pity!

Why do people have a lot of pity towards girls feelings. I know it's wrong to treat any girl without respect but it's also wrong to do so to lads too.
