song lyrics Just A Few Things That I Ain t lyrics Songwriters: Rotheray, David; Heaton, Paul; When you called me a useless druggie At least you got half of it right When you called me a hopeless alcoholic I m only hopeless after nine at night And when I said you came staggering home blind drunk If I didn t you d get terrible fright And if this is the land of hope and glory Where s the land of hope but not quite I ve been scruff bag, dirt bag, always someone s binbag But never been Bono or Sting However I dressed, never really impressed So they never got to hear a damn thing I ve been bad man, sad man, certified mad But never 007 or Saint Trendsetter go getter, international jet setter Are just a few things that I ain t Trendsetter go getter, international jet setter Are just a few things that I ain t The time you told class I was a half wit Was my very first 50% Previous best in any other test Was either stolen, copied or lent And when you branded me and every single one of my mates A waste of time and effort to teach Why d you give us sums if our only hope was bums On someone else s deckchair and beach?
