lyrics

Leaner times are laid out on the way ahead
One more notch should tighten up the belt
Starchy bread, hold back on the nutty spread
Rod of iron to give the heels a jolt

There are ways to get around the barriers
Credit card will loosen up the flow
Lovely home with redesigned interiors
Rumpus room all wireless tech decor

With the gloves off, nothing so fine
Stuff that stops you drifting backwards
Tied with red tape, life's a straight line
Leaves you feeling: Rolling backwards

Day by day, you put a little bit away
Honeypot to make a dream come true
Holiday sprawled out in Montego Bay
Rum and coke washed down with Special Brew

Counting fingers in the big trough
Things won't add up, no more rewards
Strapped with red tape, life's a write-off
Leaves you feeling: Sliding downwards

Saturday night: usual show, right off your face
Lottery to make your hopes survive
One by one, the numbers will fall into place
So much joy, it's great to be alive

Come the morning, nothing so grand
Eyes wide open, face to floorboards
Bound with red tape, life's a dead-end
Leaves you feeling: No more onwards

Cards all torn up by the big drop
Things stay broken, elbows threadbare
Wrapped in red tape, life's a full-stop
Leaves you feeling: Going nowhere
