Coins in My Pocket Lyrics by Graham Parker

Carp Fishing on Valium - The Songs

0

Well I'm working in a factory
Bringing down my wages
I work from 9 to 5 then I'm free
But I blow it on the weekend
Every single penny
I'm happy when I'm drinking you see
And the coins in my pocket
Might as well be fishes in the sea
Well I called the bartender
I paid him legal tender
But he brushed me off
And gave me one free
Well I got a lot of money
A whole lot of money
But money means nothing to me
And the coins in my pocket
Might as well be fishes in thе sea
Fishes in the sеa, fishes in the sea
Might as well be fishes in the sea
Oh yeah, might as well be fishes in the sea
Yeah the coins in my pocket
Might as well be fishes in the sea
Well you can't buy your innocence
Everybody knows
Everybody knows girl what you did to me
You cut me and you hurt me then you desert me
And made me less than I ought to be
And the coins in my pocket
Might as well be fishes in the sea
Well the girl in the green sweater
You know I'm gonna get her
I'm gonna meet her mother for tea
Well she'll do me good yeah
Do me like she should yeah
And i'll give her everything that she need
And the coins in my pocket
Might as well be fishes
If wishes were fishes, ooh, they'd be delicious
Yeah, the coins in my pocket
Might as well be fishes in the sea
