lyrics

Go and fix the car mate, I’ve appointments to keep
Are you going to the dentist, fix yer wonky teeth?

It’s none o' yer business, I’ve a few errands to run...
Soz, can’t get the parts till Monday, I’ve had too much on.

You know you're a waste of space, and this place is tiny.
I can’t shrink, and I do try and keep it tidy

I could get a fancy job
Writing code and earn a lot
I could work from a yacht, somewhere hot, get a dog...

When you do please be sure
Pop back here with lifting gear
Lift my jaw off the floor, lift my jaw off the floor...

You never show any faith...
Well fix the car and I’ll drive us to a church.

Look...I’ve enrolled on a codewriting course at a tech hub
No you’ve enrolled on a fag-rolling course at a clown hub!

I could get a fancy job
Writing code and earn a lot
I could work from a yacht, somewhere hot, get a dog

When you do please be sure
Pop back here with lifting gear
Lift my jaw off the floor, lift my jaw off the floor...

Ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith...
