Song I wrote today (in my head, on the way home from the bank …). Will add stems. Lyrics:


worked hard all my days
always paid my tax
but times are tough, getting tougher still
and I gotta face the facts
honey I need help, honey I need help
can’t shift for myself, honey I need help.

*

went up to the landlord
and said I can’t pay your rent
got no money coming in
and all my coin is spent
sorry I can’t help, sorry I can’t help
gotta shift for yourself, sorry I can’t help.

*

went up to the council
and said I can’t pay your tax
got no money coming in
can you cut me some slack?
sorry I can’t help, sorry I can’t help
gotta shift for yourself, sorry I can’t help.

*

went up to the bank
and I laid it on the line
said I can’t square my overdraft
and I’m running outta time
sorry I can’t help, sorry I can’t help
gotta shift for yourself, sorry I can’t help.

*

climbed out of the window
I’m standing on the ledge
seed Samaritans down below
sister can you spare some change?
sorry I can’t help, sorry I can’t help
gotta shift for yourself, sorry I can’t help.

*
