Penny To My Name

Well I have lost everything that I own No, I haven't got a penny to my name I have scraped and I have saved And I stole from the depraved And there ain't no money to be saved And I have worked every god-given hour To keep this roof above my head Yet I still find at the end of the day That it's just not enough to get fed And I've scraped every barrel And I've drank every dreg Yet I still find at the end of the day There is still no woman in my bed And there used to be a day When I'd bring home my pay And my daddy, he would be so proud And he'd say "Well done, son You deserve what you have won Just make sure you don't piss it all away" And then I went and pissed it all away And then I hung my head in shame And then I went back, the very next day And I done it all over again And he'd say "Oh, my son Look what you've become You're a singer in a one-horse band Oh, I had such high hopes That you'd be one of those blokes With a pick and a shovel in your hand" So I used to work the stage Just to earn a little wage To keep the wolf from at my door But kicking shit up a hill Just don't give me the same thrills And I don't want to do it anymore And you just stood there, laughing Saying I ain't got what it takes Well I only know one bloody speed And there ain't no fucking brakes And he'd say "Oh, my son Look what you've become You're a singer in a one-horse band Oh, I had such high hopes That you'd be one of those blokes With a pick and a shovel in your hand" So fuck all of you You don't know what I can do You've only come to watch me drown Will I sink or will I swim? Will I endeavour to win? At least I'm not working for a clown And he'd say "Oh, my son Look what you've become You're a singer in a one-horse band Oh, I had such high hopes That you'd be one of those blokes With a pick and a shovel in your hand" And he'd say "Oh, my son Look what you've become You're a singer in a one-horse band Oh, I had such high hopes That you'd be one of those blokes With a pick and a guitar in your hand"
