Shortchangin' The Painters And Dockers

(verse 1)
I'm just a boy in an empty city, with vintage ma-ma-misery,
a one night oh-oh-odyssey,
so give my head a minute to get outta' living
and broken bone, you're so alone
you just need that suede suit of skin to take you home

cause tonight you look like you could, but you know you won't


(chorus)
well good luck kid, i tip my head
and hope, hope, hope you don't, don't need it
playing two-up on you're window sill
with a bitter, bitter, bitter, pill

(verse 2)
just one floor from a let down, hoping that your a hit enough to break my fall.
if only for the fame, his dearest catch of the da-da-da-da-da-da-day, late.
well I've been told, "you make this town feel old,"
the worst part's I already know,

I'm just a waistcoat with a peachy grin gathering dust on your bedroom floor.

(chorus)
well good luck kid, i tip my head
and hope, hope, hope you don't, don't need it
playing two-up on you're window sill
with a bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter pill

(bridge)

uh, uh, uh

toss a coin, fall in line
with everything everyone's ever said about you
you're an over night success story without the stars
our 'tear-catcher' of the sky.


(chorus)
well good luck kid, i tip my head
and hope, hope you don't need it
playing two-up on you're window sill
with a bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter pill

well good luck kid, i tip my head
and hope, hope, hope you don't, don't need it
playing two-up on you're window sill
with a bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter pill
