It Was Supposed To Be So Easy Lyrics - A Grand Don't Come For Free - 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 feelin' sick 

Got to the video shop in a state, but chuffed it wouldn't be late 

Only when he flicked open the case, I'd left the disc at my place 

Today I've achieved absolutely nought 

In just bein' 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 failed on the DVD, but I still had to get the money 

Tell mum I couldn't make tea, get the savin' and then hurry 

Rushin' to the cash machine, still a bit mashed and lean 

Then ofcourse a mandatory car, drives by and splashes me 

Get there the cues outrageous, ladies takin' ages 

My rage is blowin' gauges, how longs it take to validate your wages? 

At last my turn comes, press the fifty squid button 

Insufficient funds 

Today I've achieved absolutely nought 

In just bein' 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 failed on the DVD, couldn't withdraw any money 

But I still had to call mum, get the savings and then hurry 

So to call my mum so that, I could tell her I can't go and that 

At least I remembered my phone man, I didn't know her number off hand 

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

I lost the fuckin' 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 nought 

In just bein' 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 withdraw any money 

Or call mum about tea, I'll have to get the savings and hurry 

But where was the money?, I knew I'd left it on the 

Side, next to the telly, this is not even funny 

I left it in the livin' room, ready to pick up as soon 

As I passed through, on the way out to the rendezvous 

So the shoe box full of money, just disappearing from me 

Is not what I call funny, a grand don't come for free 

Today I've achieved absolutely nought 

In just bein' 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 

Oi, soaked to the bone in my jeans, do you want me to stop? 

I imagine my mums weaping right now 

And the thousand pounds you swore, that I left on the table this morn 

Has simply disappeared right before my eyes, his eyes and yours 

And I'm a thousand pounds poorer 

A hundred thousand pennies, no more 

A thousandth of a million squid, or two monkeys or a whole fifty scores 

Gone withdrawn from my life, the money is no more for sure 

It was supposed to be easy
