What A Shambles

(album: Deep Sea Skiving - 1983)

You think its all so easy
When you got your name in lights
Money comes in bag fulls
And you spend it every night
It's a happy holiday
When you fly from place to place
Up at six each morning
Slapping make up on your face...

I wish you were in our shoes
I wish you could be us
Washing all your laundry
And riding on the bus

I wish you were in our shoes
I wish you could be us
Washing all your laundry
And riding on the bus

Everybody loves you
Speaks to you at noon
Never knowing you made them
Thinking they made you
Double trouble everywhere
Not a drop to drink
Rehearshing conversations
I haven't slept a wink...

I wish you were in our shoes
I wish you could be us
Washing all your laundry
And riding on the bus

I wish you were in our shoes
I wish you could be us
Washing all your laundry
And riding on the bus

What a shambles of a meeting
Don't know what to say
What a shambles of a bus ride
What a shambles of a day...

I wish you were in our shoes
I wish you could be us
Washing all your laundry
And riding on the bus
