Fall - Couldn't Get Ahead Lyrics
Couldnt get aheadI just couldnt get aheadCome out of pub, the shop is closedCome out of pub, harry wants to knowWhen the next bus isI said five or ten minutesI had my change in my handsThe bus flashes past.My hands are caughtCouldnt get ahead. I just couldnt get ahead.In a week, earned money for monthGot all my jobs doneMy eyelids were sick of itGist was I could sleep for a day?But bad bills have no respect for a decent mans restFlopping on the doorstepOutlined in color redCouldnt get ahead. just couldnt get ahead.On an asiatic plane with wings not of the grainToilet queue was endlessCouldnt get a beerThe hostesses were muslimsWhen I get in toilet,Light flashes: return to seat.I feared withdrawalAnd I feared beer was making sludge of my head.Couldnt get ahead. just couldnt get ahead.Now my problems are solvedIts a remedy of oldI pretend Im blind you seePut on some armani clothesAnd act like etWhere Im at is a cabbage patch,No longer strewn with weedsHave a ghandi at meColour mags wish me wellNo more, no get ahead.Couldnt get ahead. just couldnt get ahead.
