I Suppose That's Just What Happens

I gotta tell you that

I've got a song for my sins
I'm hoping it don't end up with the others
In the bins out there
But I ain't got no expectations left
Cos they ran out when I witnessed the great theft
(Also called a bailout)
Oh and we've got a bill that needs paying in seven days
Or they're going to throw the book at me again
Well I've asked for more zero hours
I'd like to buy my wife some flowers
But I suppose that's just what happens when you're skint

Well once upon a time, and not so long ago
The pubs were filling up and burst to overflow
Me dad would pop in after work for a few
And me mum would send me down before he'd wear his stew
And all me mates' mums and dads, they'd be at work
And we'd bunk school, spend our dinner money on desserts
Well I can't pay this new bill
I got a whale's tooth in me dad's will
But I suppose that's just what happens when you're skint

But oh, it could be so different round here
There used to be a factory and everybody worked
And oh, they sent our jobs off to the East
And now all we've got is workfare and the dole
Well I've asked for more zero hours
I'd like to buy my wife some flowers
But I suppose that's just what happens when you're skint

Well we've got a bill that needs paying in seven days
Or they're going to throw the book at me again
Well I've asked for more zero hours
I'd like to buy my wife some flowers
But I suppose that's just what happens when you're skint

Well I suppose that's just what happens
Well I suppose that's just what happens
Well I suppose that's just what happens when you're skint

Well I suppose that's just what happens when you're skint
