Did you ever feel you'd never get ahead
Wheels are spinning, everyone is overtaking you
Avert your eyes from the game just a moment
Next you know, you're spat back out the tube
Boil the kettle, read the paper
Pick up what you miss
Pick up what you miss from the daily news
You don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defence
Tell me how it ends
Tell me how it ends
Lay your money down, [??]
Nobody cares what will become of you
Throw your weight around your little patch of ground
Until you climb down from that point of view
Boil the kettle, read the paper
Pick up what you miss
Pick up what you miss from the daily news
You don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defence
Tell me how it ends
Yeah, tell me how it ends
Tell me how it ends
You don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defence
Tell me how it ends
You tell me how
Don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defence
Tell me how it ends
Tell me how it ends
