Couldn't Get Ahead (Remastered) - The Fall Written by:Mark E. Smith/Brix E. Smith Couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead Couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead Come out of pub the shop is closed Come out of pub Harry wants to know When the next bus is I said five or ten minutes I had my change in my hands The bus flashes past My hands are caught I just couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead Couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead In a week earned money for month Got all my jobs done My eyelids were sick of it Gist was I could sleep for a day But bad bills have no respect For a decent man's rest Flopping on the doorstep Outlined in color red I just couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead Couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead On an Asiatic plane with Wings not of the grain Toilet queue was endless Couldn't get a beer The hostesses Were hostesses When I get in toilet Light flashes return to seat I feared withdrawal And I feared beer was making Sludge of my head Just couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead Couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead Now my problems are solved It's a remedy of old I pretend I'm blind you see Put on some Armani clothes And act like E T Where I'm at is a cabbage patch No longer strewn with weeds Have a Ghandi at me Colour mags wish me well No more no get ahead Just couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead Couldn't get ahead I just couldn't get ahead编辑于2021/04/11更新
