Father can't afford the bills, The stress is making us all ill, I don't know how this came to be, He works every hour I can see, It makes no sense, makes no sense, and I just can't sit on the fence. Bills to pay, Lord, bills to pay. The wealth that's flaunted on TV, Turns my stomach, makes me scream, Kick a ball and make a grand, Their heads are buried in the sand, All the while we're on our knees, The wealth and riches taunt and tease. Bills to pay, Lord, bills to pay. The prices just keep going up, To fill the shareholders cup, They say it's out of their control, I guess record profits take their toll, Surely they wouldn't take the piss? Whilst people crumble, families split. Bills to pay, Lord, bills to pay. Bills to pay, Lord, bills to pay.

Will my head just wake up ? Will my head just wake up ? I'm never gonna make it, Until I can just shake it. Will my head just wake up ? Will my head just wake up ?

Everywhere people want to shake your hand You've got that grin and you've got that band A rough diamond maybe but that's all good It all sounds fine from where I'm stood Oh, Jason, man you're the dude Jason, you're never in a mood Jason, with your guitar in hand Well the women, they just struggle to stand oh yeah. Some say you're dodgy but I don't know I don't think that you would stoop that low You walk the walk, it's plain to see I know you'd never cause no grief to me Oh, Jason, man you're the dude Jason, you're never in a mood Jason, with your guitar in hand Well the women, they just struggle to stand oh yeah. You hit the stage every single Saturday night With that Paul Weller haircut it's such a sight The underwear hits the stage throughout the show The police arrive and then it's time to go. Oh, Jason, man you're the dude Jason, you're never in a mood Jason, with your guitar in hand Well the women, they just struggle to stand oh yeah. Yes I'm jealous, you know by now A wink of an eye and you've got a crowd Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh Jason, you're the dude.

I walk in many places but I don't see many faces I walk in many places But I never touch many bases I never tried to hurt no one I never tried to belong Keep away if you don't like The way I want to life my life I come from the second city and that's where my heart will stay I come from the second city But I never feel the strain of it all I never tried to hurt no one I never tried to belong Keep away if you don't like The way I want to life my life I'm not sorry for being myself And for not having immense wealth I'm not sorry that I'm different You can take it or leave it (oh yeah) I never tried to hurt no one I never tried to belong Keep away if you don't like The way I want to life my life When I think I've seen it all Something new will make me stall So my mind remains open I never want to hit a wall I never tried to hurt no one I never tried to belong Keep away if you don't like The way I want to life my life The way I want to life my life The way I want to life my life The way I want to life my life

I didn't think you'd make it I always thought you'd break it, I was wrong but I'm oh so glad to be wrong, I thought you'd never have a future at all, You stumbled across the stage Your songs expressed your rage, They were long and they said a lot I was wrong when I said you'd got no future at all, Intervention was divine and you turned it around But l still remember the times you were seen as a clown Oh, I still remember those times, Drinks spilt everywhere The punters stood and stared They were wrong, thought you'd piss it all up the wall And down you would fall They said you'd have no future at all, I was wrong but I'm oh so glad to be wrong, I thought you'd never have a future at all,

(I’m) making it up as I go along, making it up all day long. If ever you stop as you’re passing by, if ever you stop I’ll be feeling high, cos’ I am drifting away without, away without your love, drifting away, I’m lost without your love. (I’m) breaking up throughout the day, breaking up even though it’s May. If ever you re-think your position, I’ll be waiting by to listen. cos’ I am drifting away without, away without your love, drifting away, I’m lost without your love. I was a complete fool, you thought I was a tool, but I have grown up, can’t we just make up? (I’m) running around like a headless chicken, running around, I just cannot sit in. Every time you go away, day and night I continue to pray, cos’ I am drifting away without, away without your love, drifting away, I’m lost without your love. I am drifting away without, away without your love, I am drifting away without, away without your love,
