Have A Word Lyrics - Ian Dury

Gotta sign the rent book 

Gotta do the laundry 

Then there's the electric 

The water and the gas 

Haven't stopped moaning 

Since we had the phone in 

The television rental 

Another bloody hass 

Go up to the top of a very high mountain 

Go up to the top of a fresh air hill 

You can never stop when the money is counting 

Worry till you drop, till you pay your bills

Got a rotten head-ache 

Ready for a breakdown 

The pressure of the pressure 

Is more than I can bare 

The awfulness is spreading 

It's really done my head in 

I think I've been selected 

For more than my fair share 

Go into the heart of the fresh air valley 

Go and have a drink from the mountain stream 

Go and have a word before you go doolally 

Have a Dicky Bird with your self-esteem 

Photos 

Putting pen to paper 

Applying for a loan 

Ain't got no collateral 

Nor's a cat in hell 

The bailiff's on the knocker 

I'm going off my rocker 

And as regards contentment 

I haven't had a smell 

Go up to the top of a very high mountain 

Go up to the top of a fresh air hill 

You can never stop when the money is counting 

Working till you drop, till you pay your bills 

Go into the heart of the fresh air valley 

Go and have a drink from the mountain stream 

Go and have a word before you go doolally 

Have a Dicky Bird with your self-esteem 

Go up to the top of a very high mountain 

Go up to the top of a fresh air hill 

You can never stop when the money is counting 

Worry till you drop, till you pay your bills 

Go into the heart of the fresh air valley 

Go and have a drink from the mountain stream 

Go and have a word before you go doolally 

Have a Dicky Bird with your self-esteem
