Bittersong

21 only just out that uni door Working in a restaurant Or sweeping the shop floor Or maybe I'm 22, on the telephone in a suit Trying to get some poor old git to buy some useless shit And I was running in and out of love With running to that window to just jump Back when I had a salary, I spent it all on beer for me To help me deal with the pointlessness of it all And I tried to have a job, but it made me want to kill myself And I tried to have a girlfriend, but all we did was scream and shout And I wanted to have this life, that looks a bit like yours I guess that's just not what I was looking for Now I'm not saying I'm incapable of performing simple tasks But for 36 hours a week, mate, you've got to be having a laugh Whilst all my mates were buying cars, mortgages and flash guitars I spent every paycheque at the bar And I was running in and out of love With running to that window to just jump Back when I had a salary, I spent it all on beer for me To help me deal with the pointlessness of it all And I tried to have a job, but it made me want to kill myself And I tried to have a girlfriend, but all we did was scream and shout And I wanted to have this life, that looks a bit like yours I guess that's just not what I was looking for For For For For And I was running in and out of love With running to that window to just jump Back when I had a salary, I spent every penny on beer for me To help me deal with the pointlessness of it all And I tried to have a job, but it made me want to kill myself And I tried to have a girlfriend, but all we did was scream and shout And I wanted to have this life, that looks a bit like yours I guess that's just not what I was looking for
