Expensive Being Poor (Album Version) - TV Smith

(《迷失天使城》电影插曲)

And the car is off the road

But I never had a car

And I pay more for my food

'Cause the supermarket's too far

It's expensive being poor

Because everything costs more

Knocking on a closing door

It's expensive being poor

Someone throw we down some

Crumbs I will eat them off the floor

It's expensive being poor

But I look good when I get desperate

And the box is on the fritz

It's a black and white or was

I tried taking it to bits

Now the picture's just a grey fuzz

It's expensive being poor

Because everything costs more

Someone pick me off the floor

It's expensive being poor

How can I live with what I did

When the cinema's six quid

It's expensive being poor

But I look good when I get desperate

Let the good times roll

Into a bottomless hole with job

Friends and future my ideal home furniture

Let the trumpets sound as my house falls down

And the dust begins to clear

And I'm lying on the ground

And I'm standing on a path

In an unknown part of town

And the path leads me away over

Hills and out of sight

In the blazing sun by day

And the hanging moon by night

And I wind up in a place

Where I never have to count

And I never see the waves

As I push my leaking boat out

It's expensive being poor

Because everything hurts more

Knocking on a bolted door

It's expensive being poor

Someone throw we down some crumbs

I will eat them off the floor

It's expensive being poor

But I look good when I get desperate

Desperate

Desperate
