My Advice Is On Loan

The Lodger

Compositor: Ben Siddall

Put the past to bed

Remember what i said

About learning to walk

Before you try to talk?



There's pennies in the red tin

There's wars you have to win

Before i'll give you a key

'cos you owe it all to me



And i can't explain

Why you work in an office

When you have a brain



Or why my advice is on loan

When you feel a little alone

And you can't afford to pay the price

Or pay me back at all



And i can't explain

Why i live in a bedsit

Like i have no shame



Or why my advice is on loan

When you feel a little alone

And you can't afford to pay the price

Or my advice is not so nice after all
