Me nan is in the backyard, pulling greens out of the ground
The old lady's out shopping but she's never shopping around
Know what I mean

I ain't been doin' nothing, dodging the law all day
Been thinking of running away, been thinking of turning today
Me old lady's home cooking don't taste of what it used to do

I'm getting sick and tired of picking hairpins out of the stew
And the blokes 'round here can never ever see things my way
Been thinking of running away, been thinking of turning today

Life in the city can be pretty %#@!ty
The other weeks I??? bug??? to make my pay
But the bands are really something when that rockin' music's jumpin'

I can hear it calling me today, oy

I ain't been doin' nothing, dodging the law all day

Been thinking of running away, been thinking of turning today
Been thinking of running away, been thinking of turning today
