lyrics

You're an embarrassment to inherited wealth
Three hours at cenno to support yourself
For the rent at your share house in Preston
So you have a nice place to get depressed in

You'll just have to doggy paddle if you can't freestyle
You'll have to doggy paddle if you can't freestyle

My mum had three jobs, two kids and one ex-husband
That immigrant work ethic skipped a generation
I'm schizoid, devoid of gainful employment
Medicated out of every sense of enjoyment

You'll just have to doggy paddle if you can't freestyle
You'll have to doggy paddle if you can't freestyle

I'm flea-bitten, debt-ridden, weevil-infested
Malnourished, discouraged, never well-rested
I'm picking last night's party out of your fresh graze
Don't mind my nose bleed, I get em like every day

You'll just have to doggy paddle if you can't freestyle
You'll have to doggy paddle If you can't freestyle
Can't freestyle
