lyrics
I’ve eaten all my greens and swallowed all the lies
I’ve broken someone’s rules but I’ve kept between the lines
I think I’m being watched, I know I’m being crossed
Am I getting paid or should I put it down as lost
I spend all day just washing so I’m clean enough to vote
Keep my buttons done to hide the lining of my coat
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
I’m waiting in this line forever and a day
Rehearsing all my swear words so I’ve got something to say
Given half a chance I’ll blow it through a horn
But I find out at the desk that my applications torn
I spend my day just working so I’m rich enough to live
But my money’s sliding down the drain I’ve nothing left to give
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
So I’m pressing on this guard to see if he’s awake
Tap him up for tickets just give this guy a break
But he takes me to one side and looks me in the eye
Says nothing in this world’s for free until the day you die
I spend all day just beggin for this gravy train to stop
It seems I’m not the only one this platforms chocca-block
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
I spend all day just wishing for my losing streak to break
I don’t know how much more of this my aching heart can take
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
Y’ not coming in, y’ not coming in, don’t you waste my time y’ not comin in
Y’ not coming in, y’ not coming in, you don’t know Jack, y’ not comin in
Y’ not coming in, y’ not coming in, y’ too danm ugly so y’ not comin in
Y’ not coming in, y’ not coming in, you can wear a suit n’ tie but y’ still not comin in
I spend all day just asking this am I the only one
And a small voice from the corner says………..yeah!
I’m not too pretty and my life’s looking thin
My names not down so I’m not getting in
I’ve broken someone’s rules but I’ve kept between the lines
I think I’m being watched, I know I’m being crossed
Am I getting paid or should I put it down as lost
I spend all day just washing so I’m clean enough to vote
Keep my buttons done to hide the lining of my coat
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
I’m waiting in this line forever and a day
Rehearsing all my swear words so I’ve got something to say
Given half a chance I’ll blow it through a horn
But I find out at the desk that my applications torn
I spend my day just working so I’m rich enough to live
But my money’s sliding down the drain I’ve nothing left to give
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
So I’m pressing on this guard to see if he’s awake
Tap him up for tickets just give this guy a break
But he takes me to one side and looks me in the eye
Says nothing in this world’s for free until the day you die
I spend all day just beggin for this gravy train to stop
It seems I’m not the only one this platforms chocca-block
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
I spend all day just wishing for my losing streak to break
I don’t know how much more of this my aching heart can take
You’re not too pretty and your life’s looking thin
Y’ names not down so y’ not coming in
Y’ not coming in, y’ not coming in, don’t you waste my time y’ not comin in
Y’ not coming in, y’ not coming in, you don’t know Jack, y’ not comin in
Y’ not coming in, y’ not coming in, y’ too danm ugly so y’ not comin in

I’m not too pretty and my life’s looking thin
My names not down so I’m not getting in
