Everybody Was In The French Resistance... Now! Coal Digger
It's gone 2:30 and I'm not up yet
You're home early and unexpected
I'm sorry the house is such a tip
I meant to do housework but didn't get 'round to it
I know it looks a lot like I've just been lying in bed
I've been working really hard writing songs in my head
See that ambitious look in my eyes?
This week I mop floors, next week I make fries
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my shit together
Dinner with your parents is tough to get through
Avoiding the question "what is it that you do?"
But, to be fair
No one who works in a chip shop wants to be there
There's no money on my credit card, it's an awkward
situation
When I tried to pay the restaurant bill with just my
imagination
See that ambitious look in my eyes?
Last week I mopped floors, this week I make fries
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my shit together
It's hard to not let your ambitions fall flat
Coming home every night smelling like chip fat
There's a nicotine stain on my brain
From trying to turn my life 'round again
See that ambitious look in my eyes?
Any problems, I take them in my stride
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my shit together
See that ambitious look in my eyes?
To work part-time, I put some money aside
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my shit together
