Behind With The Rent - Mark Knopfler This didnt used to be me, old boy This isnt what Id want Pullin' old night fighters
In a restaurant
Theres smoke and flames behind me Where the self-respect all went
And Im behind, behind with the rent
Ive been stitched up like a kipper, old son But I wont be again Hell have no fury
Oh, I'm like a lot of men
Now Im stalkin this old Doris With lascivious intent
And Im behind, behind with the rent
Just a little duck and dive
And a bit of wheel and deal
Shell remind me Im alive
Shell remind me I still feel
Just a little shellin out
For a bit of you know what
I know this is all about
Somethin' that I never got, oh
Well, this crumpets past its sell by date But they all would qualify Theyre gonna be lonely
And be happy to comply
She knows that Im a chancer
Comin on like a gent But Im behind, behind with the rent Yes, Im behind, behind with the rent
