Never Be Me

My God this town needs a shakedown
 Any more I'll be having a breakdown
 Working for the weekend to come around
 And when they do there's still nothing going down
 Cos I've been thinking about taking a holiday
 Nowhere special some sun and a place to stay
 All I know is I've got to get away
 Won't make it just living day to day
 Cause I've been thinking about a thousand different things
 And every time I try to think I realise it doesn't matter to me
 That's no way for someone to go
 I don't have to tell you, you should know
 And these days I think it's time that you let go
 You're staring out of your window
 Onto the wasteland down below
 Maybe that was the way it was meant to be
 But you know that will never be me
 My girl she moved to the city
 Dope messed her up she don't look so pretty
 I only see her every now and then these days
 And when I do we ain't got so much to say
 She said she'd never be a wasted hippy girl
 Too much to lose so little time to change the world
 Would not believe it only I was there that night
 Passed out on the floor fighting for her life
 Now I'm watching crap on the TV
 What did I do before she used to call round to me
 And I know this is getting out of hand
 I tried to run when I knew I could hardly stand
