The Streets - All Got Our Runnins lyrics

Again, I step out my yard
Head swings 'round, clocks my landlord
Start chippin' up the road 'cause I
Owe him three weeks dough
The ship's sinkin', telly's on the blink
And in the pub
It's one beer to last all evening
Later on, chips for feedin'
When the quids are down
Try sneak in a bottle of brandy
'Round bouncers into the Ministry of Sound
Scored, Moffat, back indoors with a profit
'Cause they do say that havin'
No money forces one
To make the right choices on life each day
If you can't pay, you can't play
Success hides a multitude of sins
But, I ain't successful and my piggy
Bank's still in the bin
Been there since I was a kid
Goin 'round in circles, not being careful
But say i get paid on Friday
Can't wait to live life my way

'Cause on the streets, I'm just a geezer
I gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now

Bruk pocket
I'm back in the Burassic seat again
After spending sixty pound last week
On beers with friends
Brought it all on myself, see, granted
Now I'm scorin' draw for everyone to
Get my next spliff sorted
Hang 'round Mum's house to get smothered
Got no tins in the cupboard this week
Hold on to your seat 'cause it's
All gone a bit Pete
"Live for the moment", said he wrong!
Downin' beers out of my tree
Now the moment's passed
The cash is a distant memory
You know things are bleak when
You're tellin' the birds
You asked out last week that things are busy
When really, you've got no dough in the piggy
Two days after payday's clocked
And it's back at The Black Dog
Stuffin' them socks into pool table pockets

'Cause on the streets, I'm just a geezer
I gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now

I'm skint, got no moolah
Need to get some colour in my cheeks
Says Mum
That'll be my English inner-city tan
I'm skinny like a woman
Need to get some punan through the door
"Please Sir, can I have some more?" oi, oi
Lend me a tenner so I can go to the chip shop
Twenty-four hour garage and then
For a quick top this time opting for the
Reassuringly cheap option
When the quids are down, my Schott hoodies
My ball gown
My essential accessory is my bad day frown
'cause
Life in the third-class carriage can be evil
When your only ticket to freedom
Is a permit to travel so, Uncle Shiner
You best go get the spade and dig me a grave
'Cause, I can't pay the rent but I
Got a 109-pound pair o' trainers on

'Cause on the streets, I'm just a geezer
I gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now
On the streets, I'm just a geezer
Gotta make ends meet, yeah
Gotta do what I need to
Shit, we all got our runnins now

La, la, la
And then this geezer turned 'round
To me and said "What are you doing
You twat?" and I was like
"What the fuck is this? What are you saying
You div?" oi, that's it
