On Being Poor (Live from The Old Chapel)

from Live from The Old Chapel by Fast Trains

/

lyrics

Seas surrounding
I just can’t sleep
With this wolf hounding my door
Fees are mounding
So pay me please
Bring me order to my shore

‘Cos when I’m faced with poison
I just take it down with joy and ask for more

So please pay
‘Cos I can’t keep temptation from my door
And these days
I could write the book on being poor

Oh I long for not a fortune
Not a jewel nor trips abroad
Just enough to keep the landlord in tune
And the taxman keeping score

Oh but when I’m faced with poison
You know I’ll take it down with joy and ask for more

So please pay
‘Cos I can’t keep temptation from my door
And these days
I could write the book on being poor
