Pennies From Heaven Lyrics - Skrewdriver

Walking 'round the streets, one place to another 

I feel like I lost out on a will 

No you don't come here 

Yes you've got to go there as well 

Wait here a minute, but I've been here three hours 

My legs are aching 'cos the seats have all gone 

Hey you over there, there's a cubicle spare 

So come 'ere 

Chorus: 

Honey, I need money 

Money to find my way 

I ain't had a bite since Saturday night 

And that is now three days 

She looked at me like I'm some sort of beggar 

You know it's hard to keep your temper at times 

You don't know what to pay 'cos 

Your being out of work is a crime, yes a crime. 

We decided after thinking, your career is sinking 

So we'll offer you a twenty a week 

Who was it that said, it was the Bible I read 

Said the ones that inherit are meek 

(Repeat Chorus) 

One minute I'm in Camden, the next I'm in Eusson 

Then they send me back to Kentish Town 

I've completed lap two, there's a hole in my shoe 

And I'm down, yes I'm down 

It's been such an ordeal, and the way that I feel 

When I get a letter next day 

Saying there's something down here, that we need to clear up 

And if you don't come, you don't get paid 

(Repeat Chorus) x2
