Never Be Me

My God this town needs a shakedown

Any more I'll be having a breakdown

Working for the weekend to come around

And when they do there's still nothing going down

Cos I've been thinking about taking a holiday

Nowhere special some sun and a place to stay

All I know is I've got to get away

Won't make it just living day to day

Cause I've been thinking about a thousand different things

and every time I try to think I realise it doesn't matter to me

That's no way for someone to go

I don't have to tell you, you should know

And these days I think it's time that you let go

You're staring out of your window

Onto the wasteland down below

Maybe that was the way it was meant to be

But you know that will never be me

My girl she moved to the city

Dope messed her up she don't look so pretty

I only see her every now and then these days

And when I do we ain't got so much to say

She said she'd never be a wasted hippy girl

Too much to lose so little time to change the world

Would not believe it only I was there that night

Passed out on the floor fighting for her life

Now I'm watching crap on the TV

What did I do before she used to call round to me

And I know this is getting out of hand

I tried to run when I knew I could hardly stand
