Couldn’t Get Ahead lyrics

Couldn’t get aheadI just couldn’t get aheadCome out of pub, the shop is closedCome out of pub, harry wants to knowWhen the next bus isI said five or ten minutesI had my change in my handsThe bus flashes past.My hands are caughtCouldn’t get ahead. I just couldn’t get ahead.In a week, earned money for monthGot all my jobs doneMy eyelids were sick of itGist was I could sleep for a day? But bad bills have no respect for a decent man’s restFlopping on the doorstepOutlined in color redCouldn’t get ahead. just couldn’t get ahead.On an asiatic plane with wings not of the grainToilet queue was endlessCouldn’t get a beerThe hostesses were muslimsWhen I get in toilet,Light flashes: return to seat.I feared withdrawalAnd I feared beer was making sludge of my head.Couldn’t get ahead. just couldn’t get ahead.Now my problems are solvedIt’s a remedy of oldI pretend I’m blind you seePut on some armani clothesAnd act like etWhere I’m at is a cabbage patch,No longer strewn with weedsHave a ghandi at meColour mags wish me wellNo more, no get ahead.Couldn’t get ahead. just couldn’t get ahead.
