Expensive being poor 
And the car is of the road 
But I never had a car 
But I pay more for food 
But the supermarkets too far 
 
It's expensive being poor 
Because everything cost more
Knocking on a closing door
It's expensive being poor
Someone throw me 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 fuss
  
It's expensive being poor 
Because everything cost more
Someone pick me off the floor
It's expensive being poor
How can I live with what I did 
When the cinema is 6 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 me down some crumbs 
I will eat them off the floor
It's expensive being poor 
But I look good when I get desperate
