They say running into you is like running into trouble
You bend my ear and I see double
Youre everybodys idea of a waste of time
You still come around cos I used to listen
But I run a steamship I dont run a mission
Dont be mistaken in thinking youre a friend of mine
Those hard luck stories its all I ever get from you
Hard luck stories youre going to drive me out of my mind
Hard luck stories its all I ever get from you
Hard luck stories youre going to drive me out of my mind
Well the boss wont give you change of a penny
Everybodys got money but you havent any
If I cared about you Id say it was a crying shame
Your wife ran away, she left you on Sunday
She cried when she left you, she was laughing on Monday
She should have known better and never gone and changed her name
Why dont you grow up, why dont you settle down
Why dont you get a job, why dont you leave town
Even a chicken has to do what it has to do.
You dont like one thing, you dont like another
You dont like anything that looks like bother
Everyone dont like something, and we all dont like you
