S.T.R.E.E.T.S. - Not Addicted lyrics

I've never lied to you It's his lucky day, that's a given He'll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn He's not addicted, he can stop anytime But this is gonna pay, he feels it this one'll be fine This time I know I'm gonna smash the bet I foresee it smacked in the back of the net Men grip slips, wipe their hands that sweat The camera pans the away fans end Twenty quid for blues to thrash the reds Then cash that cash, when the ref has said My mate's out, his pads a mess Its getting late, I've not dashed yet Oh, the question I have to ask myself Is can I see us not battering them? If I can't see that happening then I'm gonna put all my money down on one fat bet Now I don't know the first thing about football But my instincts tell me this is my windfall It's his lucky day, that's a given He'll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn He's not addicted, he can stop anytime But this is gonna pay, he feels it this one'll be fine This time I know I woulda cashed the lot I woulda held in my hand the whole jackpot The games won, the ends have a swap Two nil up, they're getting mashed up But I won't win now, the chance flopped 'Cause I couldn't make it to the damn shop Might as well put tea in that pot I've got nowhere else I have to bop The question I have to ask one Is how I managed, not to manage the trot Maybe I could phone in and slap it on Put all my money on a mid-match one Yes, I don't know the first thing about football But my instincts tell me this is my windfall It's his lucky day, that's a given He'll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn He's not addicted, he can stop anytime But this is gonna pay, he feels it this one'll be fine Oh sh**, I'm mad glad I didn't back that match Suppose to be an unproblematic catch Full time the whistle blasted after The last pa**er, pa**ed the last pa** Would you believe how we fell back Three goals lost in the last half So glad I was stranded back at the flat Wincing at every goal we let 'em have The question I now have to ask Is how the f** did we get smashed that bad? I just very, very nearly, nearly Lost every penny of all my cash Yes, I don't know the first thing about football And my instincts almost led me to a pitfall It's his lucky day, that was barmy He didn't tick the box on the slip and what a relief He's not addicted, he can stop anytime But next time he will be more lucky, next time he'll be fined It's his lucky day, that was barmy He didn't tick the box on the slip and what a relief He's not addicted, he can stop anytime But next time he will be more lucky, next time he'll be fined I need to rethink the technique of my betting sh** Maybe change the parameters a little bit Instead of betting on to win the football I'll bet to lose the cricket
