Lyrics The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living - The Streets
I
need
something
in
my
life
to
straighten
me
out
Let's
rent
this
shed,
we'll
do
vocals
in
the
bog
Call
toast
PR
tell
'em
we've
opened
up
shop
Campaign
meetings
at
Warner,
no
coke
and
not
drunk
3 years
to
make
this
work,
or
look
a
joke
and
be
broke
Blag
their
lawyers
like
the
con
with
a
dog
And
there'll
be
no
more
straight
scores
to
drop
and
keep
dropping
Settle
my
gross
addictions
with
my
net
and
come
Tell
my
mum
over
tea
that
my
whole
life's
fucking
up
We've
got
two
fifty
grand
in
the
budget
to
go
Subtract
five
for
club
promo
Lose
five
for
a
good
video
and
fifteen
for
a
dud
video,
fuck
that
It's
the
hardest
way
to
make
an
easy
living
The
party
stage
is
a
bit
nearer
to
delivery
Mayhem
textes
me
about
the
press
and
TV
See
if
I've
taken
any
Es
So
I
can
get
some
sleep
Nap
on
the
settee,
the
laptop
next
to
me
Wince
for
my
family
at
the
skinner
scandal
of
the
week
TV
pluggers,
product
managers
straight
up
Club
promo
needs
to
step
up,
help
it
work
Stick
to
our
guns,
don't
crack
to
demands
Tell
my
mum
in
the
car,
that
the
car
might
have
to
go
back
Two
hundred
and
twenty
five
grand
Twenty
six
grand
for
a
showcase
And
five
more
on
tour
support
and
support
story
It's
the
hardest
way
to
make
an
easy
living
The
party
stage
is
a
bit
nearer
to
delivery
We'll
never
get
bankrupt
if
we
never
have
a
go
This
is
no
ordinary
able,
I
need
to
flash
up
my
flow
Go
into
Morris
stead
as
well
as
saville
row
I
want
a
pin-stripe
suit
that
no
man
owns
Cash
in
the
Kano
beat
for
the
silver
shadow
Send
it
to
warrior
for
the
flash
and
the
glow
The
safest
way
to
double
your
money
is
to
fold
it
in
your
pocket
Tell
my
mum
during
breakfast
that
I
got
no
sleep
Eight
grand
paid
in
September,
April,
may
and
December
If
this
keeps
going
so
well,
this
is
going
to
be
the
end
of
us
It's
the
hardest
way
to
make
an
easy
living
The
party
stage
is
a
bit
nearer
to
delivery
In
spread
betting
it's
easy
to
draw
a
small
fortune
start
With
a
big
fortune
and
lose
into
a
small
fortune
Haven't
got
a
clue,
we
blindly
charge
on
Death
threats
from
a
boy
of
the
girl
I
sarged
on
She
said
she
didn't
have
a
bloke,
another
lesson
marked
down
Verbal
agreements
aren't
worth
the
paper
they're
marked
on
Get
scans
of
reviews,
we
beg
to
chart
up
Tell
my
mum
over
tea,
the
press
have
started
up
We've
spent
a
fortune
'Cause
with
ghost
buying
it's
the
end
for
tune
We
need
to
sell
some
records
soon
It's
the
hardest
way
to
make
an
easy
living
The
party
stage
is
a
bit
nearer
to
delivery
It's
the
hardest
way
to
make
an
easy
living
The
party
stage
is
a
bit
nearer
to
delivery
