Couldn't get ahead 가사

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.
