Paroles de Trainsong

A flash in a pan
A storm in a tea cup
An elephant in the room

I'm on a train on my way to Bristol
Emptying my pockets of a bad perfume
They've cut my mobile phone off,
I don't get paid until the end of the week
I guess a piss up in a brewery is cheaper than you think

There's no money is making music
There's musicians who don't care
See I like drinking whiskey and singing songs for taxi fare
I gotta a tenner in my pocket baby
I'll take you somewhere nice
If you say that you'll be my baby tonight

I know that we're skint and we can't afford anything
But maybe sometimes that means that we got everything
A walk in the park it won't cost us a thing
Still got that tenner left in the morning
I think being skint brings the best out in me
You couldn't buy my soul for 99p

But then the very next day I'm back at the station with a ticket in my hand
A bought that ticket two days ago it was much cheaper back then He said I'd have to pay again
it struck me as unreasonable
I told him I was skint
He told me that he didn't make the rules

What can you say to the ticket conductor?
Except call him a prick and tell him to fuck off.
I think being skint bring the worst out in me
I'll give you my soul if you get me home for free.
