Anyone else think "Low Budget" was written just for you?

Kinks - Low Budget Lyrics
Cheap is small and not too steep
But best of all cheap is cheap
Circumstance has forced my hand
To be a cut price person in a low budget land
Times are hard but we?ll all survive
I just got to learn to economize

I?m on a low budget
I?m on a low budget
I?m not cheap, you understand
I?m just a cut price person in a low budget land
Excuse my shoes they don?t quite fit
They?re a special offer and they hurt me a bit
Even my trousers are giving me pain
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn?t complain
They squeeze me so tight so I can?t take no more
They?re size 28 but I take 34

I?m on a low budget
What did you say
I?m on a low budget
I thought you said that

I?m on a low budget
I?m a cut price person in a low budget land

I?m shopping at woolworth and low discount stores
I?m dropping my standards so that I can buy more

So I?m giving up all of my expensive tastes.
Caviar and champagne are definite no?s,
I?m acquiring a taste for brown ale and cod roes ]

Low budget sure keeps me on my toes
I count every penny and I watch where it goes
We?re all on our uppers we?re all going skint
I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints

I?m on a low budget
What did you say
Yea I?m on a low budget
I thought you said that
I?m on a low budget
I?m a cut price person in a low budget land
I?m on a low budget
Low budget
Low budget

Art takes time, time is money
Money?s scarce and that ain?t funny
Millionaires are things of the past
We?re in a low budget film where nothing can last
Money?s rare there?s none to be found
So don?t think I?m tight if I don?t buy a round

I?m on a low budget
What did you say
Yes I?m on a low budget
I thought you said that
I?m on a low budget
I?m a cut price person in a low budget land
I?m on a low budget
Say it again
Low budget
One more time
Low budget

I?ll have you all know, I was once a tough
At least my hair is all mine, my teeth are my own,
But everything else is on permanent loan.
Once all my clothes were made by hand,
Now I?m a cut price person in a low budget land.
I?m on a low budget
I?ll have you all know
We?re on a low budget
I?m on a low budget]

2. waterloo sunset

doesn't get much better than this:


dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

for any amount of cash."

Who needs a car or a 747
when you can't buy a gallon of gas?

10. Played this one over and over in my college days

In a deep dark jungle long time ago
Lived a lonesome caveman
He was a solitary soul
And he spent his playtime
Chewing meat from bones.
He didn't know how to talk much
He only knew how to groan
Then he lifted up his hands and reached to the sky
Let out a yell and no one replied.
Frustration and torment tore him inside
Then he fell to the ground and he cried and he cried.
But then education saved the day.
He learned to speak and communicate
Education saved the day.
He thanked God for the friends he made.
'Cos everybody needs an education
Everybody needs an education.
Black skin, red skin, yellow or white,
Everybody needs to read and write
Everybody needs an education.

Thank the day when that primitive man
Learned to talk with his brothers
And live off the land.
He left his cave and he moved far away
And he lived with his friends in a house that they'd made
He learned to think and to work with his brain
And he astounded his friends with all the knowledge he gained

He wrote it down on a rock that he found
And he showed all his friends and they passed it around
And then education came that day.
The day it came was a sacred day.
Education came that day
He thanked God for the friends he'd made.

Well man built a boat and he learned how to sail
And he travelled far and wide
Then he looked up above saw the stars in the sky
So he learned how to fly.
Thanks to all the mathematicians
And the inventors with their high I.Q.s
And the professors in their colleges
Trying to feed me knowledge
That I know I'll never use.
Thank you sir for the millions of words
That you've handed me down and you've told me to learn

But I've got words in my ears and my eyes
I've got so many facts that I must memorize
Because education's doing me in
I want to stop but my head's in a swim
Education drives me insane
I can't recall all the facts on my brain.
Education came that day
The day it came was a sacred day
Education saved the day
He thanked God for all the friends he made.

Teacher, teach me how to read and write,
You can teach me about biology,
But you can't tell me what I am living for
'Cos that's still a mystery.
Teacher, teach me about nuclear physics
And teach me about the structure of man,
But all your endless calculations
Can't tell me why I am.
No you can't tell me why I am,
No you can't tell me why I am.

Everybody needs education,
Open Universities, education.
Every race every creed, education.
And every little half-breed, education.
Every nationality, education.
All the little people need education.
Eskimos and pygmies need
And even aborigines, education.

Well physics and geography, education.
Philosophy and history, education.
Science and biology, education,
Geometry and poetry, education.
Well, education, education, education, education
