The Streets lyrics - The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living

album: The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006)
genre:

I need something in my life to straighten me out 
Let's rent this shed, we'll do vocals in the bog 
Call toast PR tell 'em we've opened up shop 
Campaign meetings at Warner, no coke and not drunk 
3 years to make this work, or look a joke and be broke 
Blag their lawyers like the con with a dog 
And there'll be no more straight scores to drop and keep dropping 
Settle my gross addictions with my net and come 
Tell my mum over tea that my whole life's fucking up 
We've got two fifty grand in the budget to go 
Subtract five for club promo 
Lose five for a good video and fifteen for a dud video, fuck that 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

Mayhem textes me about the press and TV 
See if I've taken any Es 
So I can get some sleep 
Nap on the settee, the laptop next to me 
Wince for my family at the skinner scandal of the week 
TV pluggers, product managers straight up 
Club promo needs to step up, help it work 
Stick to our guns, don't crack to demands 
Tell my mum in the car, that the car might have to go back 
Two hundred and twenty five grand 
Twenty six grand for a showcase 
And five more on tour support and support story 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

We'll never get bankrupt if we never have a go 
This is no ordinary able, I need to flash up my flow 
Go into Morris stead as well as saville row 
I want a pin-stripe suit that no man owns 
Cash in the Kano beat for the silver shadow 
Send it to warrior for the flash and the glow 
The safest way to double your money is to fold it in your pocket 
Tell my mum during breakfast that I got no sleep 
Eight grand paid in September, April, may and December 
If this keeps going so well, this is going to be the end of us 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

In spread betting it's easy to draw a small fortune start 
With a big fortune and lose into a small fortune 
Haven't got a clue, we blindly charge on 
Death threats from a boy of the girl I sarged on 
She said she didn't have a bloke, another lesson marked down 
Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're marked on 
Get scans of reviews, we beg to chart up 
Tell my mum over tea, the press have started up 
We've spent a fortune 
'Cause with ghost buying it's the end for tune 
We need to sell some records soon 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery 

It's the hardest way to make an easy living 
The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery
