Put the past to bed Remember what i said About learning to walk Before you try to talk? There's pennies in the red tin There's wars you have to win Before i'll give you a key 'cos you owe it all to me And i can't explain Why you work in an office When you have a brain Or why my advice is on loan When you feel a little alone And you can't afford to pay the price Or pay me back at all And i can't explain Why i live in a bedsit Like i have no shame Or why my advice is on loan When you feel a little alone And you can't afford to pay the price Or my advice is not so nice after all
