Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:
I got my first job when I was sixteen
On four pound (£) an hour and I thought I was king
and I spent every penny that I knew I earned
but ended up asking my mum for a loan

So she would give me a fiver (£5) and say here you go
Please make it last till you are back home
so I would buy some sweets and a bottle of coke
With enough money left for the bus back home

and then a year went on, and I got my second job
and I honestly thought that I'd struck some gold
I got a whole 90 pence more
and that went further than I thought
because 16 hours got my fourteen pounds (extra)
and that a lot

so then I lost every weekend in a dead end job
with my fat old manager who was a cock
and I couldn't help but notice he drove a nice car
whilst I rode around on the 58 bus (Redditch)

And then 6 months went on, and I got my third job
and I honestly tought I'd struck gold
I got a whole pound more
and that went further than I thought
because in those 16 hours I got quite a bit more
and that is good

and then I was at a desk with a keyboard and a phone,
with a notepad and a pen and some photos of home
and I would answer these phones for 8 hours a day
pretending to care what those people would say

except my notepad was filled with a load of random lyrics
songs about the future and boring train rides (ref to my song)
and then my boss caught me and said "what are those?"
why has your book got lyrics about me?

And then a few weeks went on
and guess what? I lost my job
but deep down I was glad to see them off
you see I was a young boy
discovering all so much
realising that sooon life will get so tough
and that is good!
