My God this town needs a shakedown 

Any more I'll be having a breakdown 

Working for the weekend to come around 

And when they do there's still nothing going down 

Cos I've been thinking about taking a holiday 

Nowhere special some sun and a place to stay 

All I know is I've got to get away 

Won't make it just living day to day 

Cause I've been thinking about a thousand different things 

and every time I try to think I realise it doesn't matter to me 

That's no way for someone to go 

I don't have to tell you, you should know 

And these days I think it's time that you let go 

You're staring out of your window 

Onto the wasteland down below 

Maybe that was the way it was meant to be 

But you know that will never be me 

My girl she moved to the city 

Dope messed her up she don't look so pretty 

I only see her every now and then these days 

And when I do we ain't got so much to say 

She said she'd never be a wasted hippy girl 

Too much to lose so little time to change the world 

Would not believe it only I was there that night 

Passed out on the floor fighting for her life 

Now I'm watching crap on the TV 

What did I do before she used to call round to me 

And I know this is getting out of hand 

I tried to run when I knew I could hardly stand
