Couldn't Get Ahead歌詞

Couldn't Get Ahead (Remastered) - The Fall
Written by：Mark E. Smith/Brix E. Smith
Couldn't get ahead
I just couldn't get ahead
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
I just couldn't get ahead
I just couldn't get ahead
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
I just couldn't get ahead
I just couldn't get ahead
Couldn't get ahead
I 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 hostesses
When I get in toilet
Light flashes return to seat
I feared withdrawal
And I feared beer was making
Sludge of my head
Just couldn't get ahead
I just couldn't get ahead
Couldn't get ahead
I 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 E T
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
Just couldn't get ahead
I just couldn't get ahead
Couldn't get ahead
I just couldn't get ahead
