Letra It's so hard Pretty Things

It's so hard

Early in the morning when I get out of bed
She says get up honey your eyes are really red
Its those late nights that youre keeping with your pals
She says get down to the pub, give me some ale.

Its the reason that I must get a job
She says look in the papers theres something for you in there
Its the reason that I feel its a sin
All the kids lining up, all the kids staying thin

Its so hard

I see a ship and it is coming down the thames
Up and down up and down here it comes again
In my binoculars the captain looks sweet
He has tattoos on his arm, and hes really neat.

Its so hard
Down at the labour and theres nothing for me
He has a cabin and hes safe at sea.
Stowaway tanker is something to he, its so hard.

Meanwhile back in the kitchen there is something real dull
She is standing in her curlers and shes ready to blow
A see thru apron round her waist and her thighs
She says give me one I say no.

Its too hard.
