lyrics

It seems like only yesterday
I was home and hosed no rent to pay
What am I going to do about it
Everybody knows you can't live without it

And now Monday morning out of bed
I get to work late someone says
Where have you been son aren't you making a habit of this
And I'm working away from nine to five
There must be easier ways of staying alive
Tell me your secret they say you didn't start from scratch
Time and time again blood rushes to my head
Friday nights the night I like the best

The money I earn burns a hole in my pocket
It's a feeling I get I just can't stop it
Cigarette smoke and chip fat fingers
The Main Street lights and the K Road swingers
The money I earn burns a hole in my pocket
Sex and drugs and late night shopping
Beer stained carpets and lip stick collar
Spending my money like there's no tomorrow...no tomorrow

Now what are you trying to do
You've been away for a week or two
Can you spare me a tenner I'll pay you back later I promise to
Hey you there in the street with you safe job and family
What are you going to do about it
Cos' everybody knows you can't live without it
Time and time again blood rushes to my head
Friday nights the night I like the best

The money I earn burns a hole in my pocket
It's a feeling I get I just can't stop it
Cigarette smoke and chip fat fingers
The Main Street lights and the K Road swingers
The money I earn burns a hole in my pocket
Sex and drugs and late night shopping
Beer stained carpets and lip stick collar
Spending my money like there's no tomorrow...no tomorrow

Monday Tuesday I detest
Wednesday Thursday even less
Friday nights the night I like
It satisfy's my appetite
Friday nights the night I like the best

The money I earn burns a hole in my pocket
It's a feeling I get I just can't stop it
Cigarette smoke and chip fat fingers
The Main Street lights and the K Road swingers
The money I earn burns a hole in my pocket
Sex and drugs and late night shopping
Beer stained carpets and lip stick collar
Spending my money like there's no tomorrow...no tomorrow
