Songtexte Paycheck (early version) - Placebo

Consumed by the ones who make her
She's a faker, always lets me down
Dressed up like a capital shaker
Full of ganja, drugs are never down
I'll take your hips
Just for starters
Don't you make me frown
She could have been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasting half his life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue
Plain sailing, safe surfing
Public peeling, back stab

Confused by the ones who break her
She's a faker, never makes a sound
Undressed like a soul in prayer
Buy a share, pay her by the pound
I'll have your face for breakfast
I'm in excess, neither lost nor found
She could have been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasted half his life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue
Plain sailing, shoulder rubbing
Dental flossing, back stab!

Pay - check
Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You God damn liar, take me higher

I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing
I never

Slacker, wasted half his life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue
Plain sailing, wife swapping
Stool pigeon, back stab!

Pay - check
Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You God damn liar, pants on fire

Cold lining to pour on me
But this one really takes the piss.
It's likely to pro quandary
I deserve so much more than this.
