Song - \"So Hard For You\" by K. Schroeder and W. De Backer. Recorded at the Merricks Beach Barn, 17 October 2010 from the last Basics-related recording session.
You think it's so hard for you You moan about the things you do Well it's gonna get a little bit harder Cos this train can't go no farther Since the day you came on the scene I've been treating you like my queen Spending my money just to make you smile I'd give an inch but you'd take a mile (Well baby I've been thinking...)
That I don't wanna be your saviour anymore I ain't gonna get you what you want I'm here to tell you that it's not okay I'm not your meal-ticket sucker just to pay your way
You never really cared for friends Little more than a means-to-the-end You won't be happy 'til they call you famous Your attitude is entirely shameless And so I realise my mistake You never give, you just take, take, take Whether money or imagination We're all figures in your calculation
But I don't wanna be your saviour anymore I ain't gonna get you what you want I'm here to tell you that you're on your own I'm not your lap-dog woman and I'm telling you Don't wanna be your saviour anymore I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
You think you struggle like the rest of us You really think that you do it tough Well you should try a bit of 9-to-5 Where the measure of your life is a... Paycheck -- just enough to pay the rent We're all thinking in dollars-and-cents But when you get it on a silver plate I know you can't appreciate
That I don't wanna be your saviour anymore I ain't gonna take you to the top I'm here to tell that you're on your own I'm not your cash cow woman and I'm telling you Don't wanna be your saviour anymore I ain't gonna open every door You better listen to me when I say You're a gold-digger, honey, and it stops today
Saviour anymore x 3 ... don't wanna see you no more Sister -- I ain't your penny-packing daddy Lover - can you hear me sayin... I don't wanna be your saviour anymore x 3
