Young,gifted and skint -
that's where it int...
look how easily it happened
look how easily i fell
now i'm up to here in debt
there's a noose around my neck
there's a price upon my head.
My past was all in borrowed time
(stupid stupid borrowed time)
now that the deed is done
i'm waiting for the axe to fall
fantasies grow in my brain
run away and start again
dissappear and change my name...
...Money makes the world go round
fear makes it turn much faster
can't pay the rentman a single thing
don't let the man from the gas board in
maybe this is all a dream
maybe i'll wake up again
maybe this could all be clean...
