Go to a cash machine 

To get a ticket home 

Message on the screen 

Says don't make plans, you're broke 

No, no this can't be right 

I know that time is tight 

I've only just been paid 

Three weeks five days, til I'm seen 

Right... 

No... 



* I scratch a living, it ain't easy 

You know it's a drag 

I'm always paying, never make it 

But you can't look back 

I wonder if I'll ever get 

To where I want to be 

Better believe it 

(I'm working for the cash machine) 



I try to phone a friend 

My credit's in the red 

I try to skip the fare 

Ticket inspector's there 

No no, this can't be right 

I live an honest life 

It seems like sometimes 

You don't cross the line 

You don't get 

By... 

No... 



[Repeat *]



What am I gonna do 

My girlfriend's test turned blue 

We tried to play it safe 

That night we could not wait 

No no, this can't be right 

She said it would be alright 

I can't afford to be a daddy 

So I leave tonight... 

No... 



[Repeat *]



Cash machine 

Cash machine ... 



There's a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket 

There's a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket 

There's a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket 

There's a hole in my pocket 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
