lyrics

LYRICS:

Haven't gone past zero
Since the sky was green,
Even though I've got two jobs,
And I'm looking for job three.
I'm an overdraft tenant,
Permanent resident,
Even though my money's spent,
I've still got to pay my rent.

So you borrow from Peter
to borrow from Paul,
Put a deposit
on a flat you can't afford,
From which you'll bitch
about the situation which
you're placing yourself in.
Put the heating on or have some tea.
Buy a telly or a licence fee,
Or have a sniff and ignore it
And fall deeper into the fucking pit.

Cos I'm in Overdraft City,
My bank account's not pretty,
Yes I'm in Overdraft City,
Where everything's a bit shitty.

Haven't gone past zero
Since the sky was pink,
Even though I'm fucking skint,
I can't turn down a drink,
I'm an overdraft tenant,
Permanent resident,
Even though my money's spent,
Still got to pay my rent.

So you borrow from Peter
to borrow from Paul,
Put a deposit
on a flat you can't afford,
From which you'll bitch
about the situation which
you're placing yourself in.
Put the heating on or have some tea.
Buy a telly or a licence fee,
Or have a sniff and ignore it
And fall deeper into the fucking pit.

Cos I'm in Overdraft City,
My bank account's not pretty,
Yes I'm in Overdraft City,
Where everything's a bit shitty.

yadda yadda yadda

TINFOILS Manchester, UK

Tinfoils are a three-piece garage-punk band based in Manchester, whose frantic brand of ‘no frills’, DIY guitar-driven music rages against the private security companies who police the streets of Britain, the royalist media machine, the inescapable nature of a 20-odd year old’s overdraft - as well as having the odd song about thrush. ... more
