Behind With The Rent Lyrics - Kill To Get Crimson - Mark Knopfler

This didn? t used to be me, old boy 

This isn? t what I? d want 

Pullin' old night fighters 

In a restaurant 

There? s smoke and flames behind me 

Where the self-respect all went 

And I? m behind, behind with the rent 

I? ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son 

But I won? t be again 

Hell hath no fury 

Oh, I? m like a lot of men

Now I? m stalkin? this old Doris 

With lascivious intent 

And I? m behind, behind with the rent 

Just a little duck and dive 

And a bit of wheel and deal 

She? ll remind me I? m alive 

She? ll remind me I still feel 

Just a little shellin? out 

For a bit of you-know-what 

I know this is all about 

Somethin' that I never got, oh 

Well, this crumpet? s past its sell-by-date 

But they all would qualify 

They? re gonna be lonely 

And be happy to comply

She knows that I? m a chancer 

Comin? on like a gent 

But I? m behind, behind with the rent 

Yes, I? m behind, behind with the rent
