Behind With the Rent Lyrics

This didn′t used to be me, old boy
This isn't what I′d want
Pullin' old night fighters
In a restaurant

There's smoke and flames behind me
Where the self-respect all went
And I′m behind, behind with the rent

I′ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son
But I won't be again
Hell hath no fury
Oh, I′m like a lot of men

Now I'm stalkin′ this old Doris
With lascivious intent
And I'm behind, behind with the rent

Just a little duck and dive
And a bit of wheel and deal
She′ll remind me I'm alive
She'll remind me I still feel

Just a little shellin′ out
For a bit of "you know what"
I know this is all about
Somethin′ that I never got, oh

Well, this crumpet's past its sell by date
But they all would qualify
They′re gonna be lonely
And be happy to comply

She knows that I'm a chancer
Comin′ on like a gent
But I'm behind, behind with the rent
Yes, I′m behind, behind with the rent
