[Verse 1]
Go to a cash machine to get a ticket home
A message on the screen says "don't make plans,you're broke"
No no,this can't be right
I know the time is tight
I've only just been paid three weeks five days 'till i'm seen
Right...
No...
[Chorus]
I scratch a living it ain't easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never make it
But you can't look back
I wonder if i'll ever get to where i want to be
Better believe it
I'm working for the cash machine
[Verse 2]
I try to phone a friend
My credit's in the red
I try to skip the fare
Ticket insperctor's there
No,no this can't be right
I live an honest life
It seems like sometimes
You don't cross the line you don't get
By...
No...
[Chorus]
Verse 3
What am i gonna do?
My girlfriend's test turn blue
We try to play it safe
That night we could not wait
No,no this can't be right
She said it would be alright
I can't afford to be a daddy so i leave
Tonight...
No...
[Chorus]
[Outro]
There's a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
