Shits Creek - April 1984

Life's going fine till it's time to pay
 Then nobody cares about what you say
 Borrowing all the time
 Now you're in debt
 Money's fun to spend
 You bet
 My arms are short and my pockets deep
 And all the money that I have I want to keep
 I'll be making my payments over time
 That was long ago, now the lender whines
 Moving down the river of life
 Make your payments grab a wife
 Then you try and float upstream
 It's much harder than it seems
 Finally you make your goal
 With no morals and no soul
 Had to sell them on the way
 So that you could live today
 You're up shits creek
 Installment due last week
 Your bank book is looking bleak
 Because you're up shits creek
 Travelling without a paddle
 For so long it doesn't matter
 Now you're in a new tax bracket
 Don't forget your life jacket
 And if you hit some waves
 That's alright money saves
 But if your cash flow stops
 Will your life crumble and drop
 You're up shits creek
 Installment due last week
 Your bank book is looking bleak
 Because you're up shits creek
 That's because you're up shits creek
 Now your debts are paid
 And you can relax
 You've got shit in your ears
 Or is it wax
 I thought I saw your boat capsize
 Bobbing in the creek
 Getting shit in your eyes
