Happiness And Penniless Lyrics - Singles - Holloways

Well, he's watching all the wealthy folk on his way to work 

Saturday's so far away, there's so much shit to shirk 

He's gotta keep his chin up, he's gotta keep his nerve 

But he just wants to skin up and sit down 

And flaming will sod those who he serves 

'Cause what's the use of money 

If you've got no time to use it? 

He don't wanna sell his life to you 

You know, he'd rather have his time than a bob or two 

But you can't find the money for your rent 

Or to pay the loans you lent 

You better turn to God 'cause you're up shit creak 

And you're sailing into hell 

You'll be wailing when they sell your soul to the repo man 

And now he's unemployed, he lives off milk and bread 

His graduate account is so far in the red 

He listened to his heart when he should have used his head 

He suffers for his art, he's so skint 

His tenancy is hanging by a thread 

And now he's got the time 

But he hasn't got the money 

To do the things that people do 

But still he'd rather have his time than a bob or two 

But you can't find the money for your rent 

Or to pay the laundry lent 

You better turn to God 'cause you're up shit creak 

And you're sailing into hell 

You'll be wailing when they sell your soul to the repo man 

All of his money is gone 

(All of his money has gone) 

What did he spend it all on? 

(What did he spend it all on?) 

He's never had so much fun 

(He's never had so much fun) 

All of his money is gone 

(All of his money has gone) 

Oh no now my last penny has been spent 

Still my life is heaven sent 

'Cause I've got my friends to help me through this time 

I'll repay you in the end, don't you worry 

I promise you I'll pay you back with time 

Find the money for your rent 

Or to pay the loans you lent 

You better turn to God 'cause you're up shit creak 

And you're sailing into hell 

You'll be wailing when they sell your soul to the repo man 

Find the money for your rent 

(All his money is gone) 

Find the money for your rent
