about

My first single, as heard on Union Jack Radio & currently charting on US college radio 😀

lyrics

I took to rambling
'Cos I didn't have no place to go
I took to gambling
'Cos I couldn't make no money with what I already know
I took to cheating
'Cos the odds would always laugh in my face
I took a beating
I was all over the place

If you've got something to prove
I'm not really talking to you
If you've got nothing but time
Join me on the breadline

I took the wrong road
I guess I didn't see the sign
I took a hard load
Round and round in circles while I wasted my time
I took the long way
And I've still got nothing to show
'Cos it's the wrong way
Well tell me something I don't already know

If you've got something to prove
I'm really not talking to you
If you've got nothing but time
Join me on the breadline
Join me on the breadline
Join me on the breadline
Come on baby tell me when it's feeding time

I took to rambling (Oh yeah)
'Cos I didn't have no place to go
I took to gambling (Another roll of the dice)
'Cos I couldn't make no money with what I already know
I took to cheating (Any way I could)
'Cos the odds would always laugh in my face
I took a beating (They got me beat right down yeah)
I was all over the place

If you've got something to prove
I couldn't give a fuck about you
If you've got nothing but time
Join me on the breadline
Join me on the breadline
Join me on the breadline
Come on baby tell me when it's feeding time
