Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]A flash in a pan,
storm in a teacup,
an elephant [G]in [D]the room
On a train on my way to Bristol,
[A]empty in my pockets of
a bad perfume
They've [G]cut my mobile [D]phone [G]off,
[D]I don't get paid till the end of the week
I guess a [A]piss up in a brewery
is cheaper than you think
[D]There's no mon[G]ey in making music,
there's musi[D]cians who don't care
You see I [A]like drinking whis[D]key
[A]and singing songs for taxi fare
[D]I got a ten[G]ner in my pocket baby
I'll [D]take you somewhere nice
If [A]you say that you'll be my baby tonight
[D]Well I know to [G]a skin we
can[D]'t afford anything
But [A]maybe sometimes that
[D]means that we got everything
A [G]walk in the park it won't [D]cost us a thing
Still [A]got that tenner left in the morn[D]ing
I [G]think being skinned
brings the [D]be st out me
You could have bought
my soul [A]for 9 to [D]9p
But then the very next day
I'm back at the station
with a [G]ticket in my hand
[D]I bought that ticket two days ago,
it was [A]much cheaper back then
But the guy [G]that works at the station,
he won't [D]let me through the gate
He said the [A]train I booked has already left,
and I was two hours [D]late
He said [G]I'd have to pay again,
it [D]struck me as unreasonable
I [A]told him I was [Asus4]skinned,
[A]he told me that he didn't [D]make the rules
And what can [G]you say to
the tick[D]et conductor,
except [A]call him a [D]prick
And tell him to fuck off,
I [G]think being skinned
brings the [D]worst out of me
I'll [A]give you my soul
if you get me home for [D]free
