The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living Lyrics - Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living - Streets

I need something in my life to straighten me out 

Let's rent this shed, we'll do vocals in the bog 

Call toast pr tell 'em we've opened up shop 

Campaign meetings at Warner, no coke and not drunk 

3 years to make this work, or look a joke and be broke 

Blag their lawyers like the con with a dog 

And there'll be no more straight scores to drop and keep dropping 

Settle my gross addictions with my net and come 

Tell my mum over tea that my whole life's fucking up 

We've got two fifty grand in the budget to go 

Subtract five for club promo 

Lose five for a good video and fifteen for a dud video, fuck that 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

Mayhem text's me about the press and TV 

See if I've taken any ES so I can get some sleep 

Nap on the settee, the laptop next to me 

Wince for my family at the Skinner Scandal of the week 

TV pluggers, product managers straight up 

Club promo needs to step up, help it work 

Stick to our guns, don't crack to demands 

Tell my mum in the car, that the car might have to go back 

Two hundred and twenty five grand 

Twenty six grand for a showcase 

And five more on tour support 

And support story 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

We'll never get bankrupt if we never have a go 

This is no ordinary able, I need to flash up my flow 

Go into morris stead as well as Savile Row 

I want a pin-stripe suit that no man owns 

Cash in the Kano beat for the silver shadow 

Send it to warrior for the flash and the glow 

The safest way to dvouble your money is to fold it in your pocket 

Tell my mum during breakfast that I got no sleep 

Eight grand paid in September 

April, May and December 

If this keeps going so well 

That's going to be the end of us 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

In spread betting it's easy to draw a small fortune start 

With a big fortune and lose into a small fortune 

Haven't got a clue, we blindly charge on 

Death threats from a boy of the girl, I serged on 

She said, she didn't have a bloke, another lesson marked down 

Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're marked on 

Get scans of reviews, we beg to chart up 

Tell my mum over tea, the press have started up 

We've spent a fortune 

'Cause with ghost buying 

It's the end for tune 

We need to sell some records soon 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 

The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
