It Was Supposed To Be So Easy

The Streets

It was supposed to be so easy

Just take back the DVD, withdraw that extra money

Tell mum I wouldn't be back for tea, then grab my savings and hurry

So first to get the film back in time, to avoid that big fine

I had to do a fast hill climb, but a faster decline

But I flew a bit quick, arms like a lunatic

Had to stop for a few ticks, I started feeling sick

Where's my phone have I got it, Oh this is a crock of shit

I lost the fucking thing, oh here it is in my pocket

But the batteries nearly flat, gotta call quick snap

Aww shit, the battery is flat

Today I've achieved absolutely naught

In just being out of the house, I've lost out

If I wanted to end up with more now

I should've just stayed in bed, like I know how

So I've failed on the DVD, couldn't wi
