lyrics

saddled with a mortgage
feelin' like an ostrich
ready brek and penthouse
firey little doormouse
x-ray relax, I'm gonna hava relapse
5 minutes under water
I can smell the gas taps
need a suit of armour
to asssit my pursuit of karma
so when excess sounds the alarm
i live to fight another day
gotta little mini
that I wear on my hips
I gotta a push up bra
and a big sports car
for when I'm taking trips
smell the gas taps x-ray relax
