THE WHEELS HAVE FALLEN OFF
IT ALL SHOWS SIGNS OF ENDIN'
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH FOR HOURS
BUT YOU
CARRIED ON PRETENDIN'
YOUR SHOES
HAVE LOST THEIR SHINE
THE CONVO'S LOST ITS PACE
SO, NOW YOU'RE IN A TAXI
FEELIN' FEELIN'S OF DISGRACE
YOU'VE NEVER GOT NO MONEY
'CAUSE OF ALL
THE TIMES YOU LEND
WAS IT A POINTLESS
THREE DAY BENDER
OR A WEEKEND IN PARADISE
MY FRIEND
THE SPRING IS IN THE STEP
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THERE'S A FEELIN'
SWEEPIN' THROUGH THE AIR
ALL THE LADS
ARE ON THE BLOWER
THEY'LL BE FINISHIN' SOON
IN YOUR MIND
YOU'RE ALREADY PREPARED
I'LL PHONE ME MAN FOR SUGAR
THEN I'LL PHONE OUR KID
'CAUSE HE'LL COVER IT
'TIL I GET PAID
THEN YOU'RE OUT
WITH ALL THE FIRM
AND YOU'RE OFF YOUR LID
ONLY CONFIDENT, NEVER AFRAID
THE NIGHT DRAWS TO A CLOSE
AND NOW THERE'S
NOWHERE TO GO
YOU TURN AND LOOK
AT ONE OF YOUR MATES
THERE'S A LAD
HE KNOWS FROM WORK
AND HE LIVES ALONE
SO, IT'S MORE SUGAR
AND A COUPLE OF CRATES
WELL, IS IT ONE OF THE TIMES
WHEN IT'S ALL WORTHWHILE
AND YOU'VE HAD A SCREAM
OR IS IT BURNIN' YOUR BRIDGES
AT BOTH ENDS
SAME OLD SCENE
SINCE YOU WERE SEVENTEEN
AW, NOW
THE WHEELS HAVE FALLEN OFF
IT ALL SHOWS SIGNS OF ENDIN'
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH FOR HOURS
BUT YOU
CARRIED ON PRETENDIN'
YOUR SHOES
HAVE LOST THEIR SHINE
THE CONVO'S LOST ITS PACE
SO, NOW YOU'RE IN A TAXI
FEELIN' FEELIN'S OF DISGRACE
YOU'VE NEVER GOT NO MONEY
'CAUSE OF ALL
THE TIMES YOU LEND
WAS IT A POINTLESS
THREE DAY BENDER
OR A WEEKEND IN PARADISE
MY FRIEND
SOME CAN HANDLE IT NO MORE
SOME'LL DO IT FOREVER
SPEND YOUR WEEKS WALKIN'
'ROUND WITH YOUR HEAD TO
THE FLOOR, NO TIME FOR
THE NEWS OR THE WEATHER
YOUR FIRST PINT ON A FRIDAY
YOUR LAST GIN
ON A SUNDAY MORNIN'
IT ALL CREEPS UP ON YOU
INBETWEEN
NO REASONS WHY
NO EARLY WARNIN'
WELL, IF IT'S ONE OF THE TIMES
WHEN IT'S ALL WORTHWHILE
AND YOU'VE HAD A SCREAM
THAT'S ALRIGHT
OR IS IT BURNIN' YOUR BRIDGES
AT BOTH ENDS
SAME OLD SCENE
SINCE YOU WERE SEVENTEEN
AW, NOW
THE WHEELS HAVE FALLEN OFF
IT ALL SHOWS SIGNS OF ENDIN'
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH FOR HOURS
BUT YOU
CARRIED ON PRETENDIN'
YOUR SHOES
HAVE LOST THEIR SHINE
THE CONVO'S LOST ITS PACE
SO, NOW YOU'RE IN A TAXI
FEELIN' FEELIN'S OF DISGRACE
YOU'VE NEVER GOT NO MONEY
'CAUSE OF ALL
THE TIMES YOU LEND
WAS IT A POINTLESS
THREE DAY BENDER
OR A WEEKEND IN PARADISE
MY FRIEND
