The Streets - Give Me My Lighter Back lyrics
[The Streets - Give Me My Lighter Back lyrics]
'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track? 'Cause I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track?
You walk in the door, packed pockets
Guess what, geeze?
Say you've had it but now you've lost it
Again, you've forgotten to bring your wallet
But fair play, I buy youse
A brandy and Coke, safe
I always do anything for my mates
Go sit down, I'll bring it over
'Cause, I'm no way that you
Always seem to avoid paying
But your blag, blag, blag gets seen, seen
Seen
And how many missed calls have I gotta take
Before you'll get some credit and
Call me for a change?
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh?
'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track? 'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track?
Oi, then after Tottenham won 2–1
I notice you've gone
And I'm sat staring into space
Lookin' like a billy, no mates on his todd
(And)
My favourite lighter seems to have done one
'Cause it was here when you were here
And now it's gone now you're gone
I mean, just 'cause I bought you a drink
I'm not trying to tie you to the seat
I don't give to receive
But you seem to live to receive
So I end up chatting to Andy
Talking about his fucking grief
With the knob you gave me for twos
'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track? 'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track?
Half-hour on, I'm makin' my way to the bog
Say "Hi" to him, nod to the corner
Say "Safe" to your one
Now walk past the bar where you're at
You've blatantly bought her a jar
With the money you said you didn't have
I walk past, but I wanna lose my rag
And then I do my business
And as I've come out the bog
Your girlfriend walks in
Sees you drinkin' with next girl
And tips the drink over your head
And if you ask me
It serves you fuckin' right
You have to hold it down
'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track? 'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track? 'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track? 'Cause, I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track?
Oi, I got a bassline solo comin' for you, man
Oi, bassline solo, take the bassline solo
Raw, raw bassline solo, na na na na
Oi, James Hyman
Thank you very much for the Xbox
I've been fucking killing that Halo game
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track? 'Cause I can't be doing
With your crap anymore
So why don't you give me my lighter back
And then track?
You walk in the door, packed pockets
Guess what, geeze?
Say you've had it but now you've lost it
Again, you've forgotten to bring your wallet
