Nouvelle Vague - Get a Grip on Yourself lyrics

Didn't have the money round to
Buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes
I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did
Was playing rock 'n roll

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a
Two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin
I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes
Against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did
Was play some rock 'n roll

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

Now I find from week to
Week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner
Rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome
To our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll
Play some rock 'n roll

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know
