• Expensive Being Poor

And the car is of the road
but I never had a car
But I pay more for food
but the supermarkets too far

It´s expensive being poor
because everything cost more,
knocking on a closing door,
it´s expensive being poor,
someone throw me down some crumbs
I will eat them off the floor,
it´s expensive being poor
but I look good when I get desperate.

And the box is on the fritz,
it´s a black and white, or was,
I tried taking it to bits
now the picture´s just a grey fuss.

It´s expensive being poor
because everything cost more,
someone pick me off the floor,
it´s expensive being poor,
how can I live with what I did
when the cinema is 6 quid?
It´s expensive being poor
but I look good when I get desperate.

Let the good times roll
into a bottomless hole
with job friends and future
my ideal home furniture,
let the trumpets sound
as my house falls down.

And the dust begins to clear
and I´m lying on the ground,
and I´m standing on a path
in an unknown part of town,
and the path leads me away
over hills and out of sight,
in the blazing sun by day
and the hanging moon by night,
and I wind up in a place
where I never have to count,
and I never see the waves
as I push my leaking boat out.

It´s expensive being poor
because everything hurts more,
knocking on a bolted door,
It´s expensive being poor.
Someone throw me down some crumbs
I will eat them off the floor,
it´s expensive being poor
but I look good when I get desperate..
