| Couldn't get ahead | |
| I just couldn't get ahead | |
| Come out of pub, the shop is closed | |
| Come out of pub, harry wants to know | |
| When the next bus is | |
| I said five or ten minutes | |
| I had my change in my hands | |
| The bus flashes past. | |
| My hands are caught | |
| Couldn't get ahead. i just couldn't get ahead. | |
| In a week, earned money for month | |
| Got all my jobs done | |
| My eyelids were sick of it | |
| Gist was i could sleep for a day? | |
| But bad bills have no respect for a decent man's rest | |
| Flopping on the doorstep | |
| Outlined in color red | |
| Couldn't get ahead. just couldn't get ahead. | |
| On an asiatic plane with wings not of the grain | |
| Toilet queue was endless | |
| Couldn't get a beer | |
| The hostesses were muslims | |
| When i get in toilet, | |
| Light flashes: "return to seat." | |
| I feared withdrawal | |
| And i feared beer was making sludge of my head. | |
| Couldn't get ahead. just couldn't get ahead. | |
| Now my problems are solved | |
| It's a remedy of old | |
| I pretend i'm blind you see | |
| Put on some armani clothes | |
| And act like et | |
| Where i'm at is a cabbage patch, | |
| No longer strewn with weeds | |
| Have a ghandi at me | |
| Colour mags wish me well | |
| No more, no get ahead. | |
| Couldn't get ahead. just couldn't get ahead. |
