I need something in my life to straighten me out
Let's rent this shed, we'll do vocals in the bog
Call Toast PR, tell 'em we've opened up shop
Campaign meetings at Warner, no coke and not drunk
Three years to make this work or like a joke and be broke
Flag their lawyers like the con with the dog
And there'll be no more spread scores that drop and keep dropping
Settle my gross addictions with my net income
Tell my mum over tea that my whole life is fucking up
We got 250 grand in the budget to go
Subtract five for club promo
Lose five for a good video
And fifteen for a dud video
Fuck that
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
So long as we party stay just a bit nearer to delivery
Mayhem texts me about the press and TV
See off Teddy in the east so I can get some sleep
Nap on the settee, the laptop next to me
Winks from my family at the Skinner scandal of the week
TV pluggers, product managers set it up
Club promo needs to step up, help it work
Stick to our guns, don't crack to demand
Tell my mum in the car that the car might have to go back
Two hundred and twenty-five grand
Twenty-six grand for a showcase and
Five more on tour support and it's a poor story
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
So long as we party stay just a bit nearer to delivery
We'll never get bankrupt if we never have a go
This is no ordinary label, I need to flash up my flow
Going to Morris Steadwell or Savile Row
I want a pinstripe suit that no man owns
Cash in a Kano beat for the silver shadow
Send it to Warrior for the flash and the glow
The safest way to double your money is to fold it in your pocket
Tell my mum during breakfast that I got no sleep
Eight grand paid in September
April, May and December
If this keeps going so well that's gonna be the end of us
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
So long as we party stay just a bit nearer to delivery
In spread betting it's easiest to draw a small fortune
Start with a big fortune and lose until it's a small fortune
We haven't got a clue, we blindly charge on
Death threats from the boy of a girl I sized on
She said she didn't have a bloke, another lesson marked down
Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're marked on
Get scans of reviews we beg to chart up
Tell my mum over tea the press has started up
We've spent a fortune
Christmas goes by and it's the end for June
We need to sell some records soon
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
So long as we party stay just a bit nearer to delivery
It's the hardest way to make an easy living
So long as we party stay just a bit nearer to delivery
