Keeping Up With The Jones

from Tomorrow's World by The Slack 5

/

lyrics

Got to have the same trainers you've got
And although I don't like it, the same tracksuit top
I'm following people, not trends
Blown away with my remote garage door
And start my own business to be the director
That's got to look good to my friends

It's nothing to do with reality
It's all about how things appear
Can't better than me
I've got to have all the best gear
I need that new merc sat out on the lot
And the latest watches and phones
Desperate to get what my neighbours have got
I've got to keep up, oh I've got to keep up with the Jones

I know get all my ideas from you
I'm just trying to do better than all the things you do
There's no money I won't lend
Impressed by people who I think are rich
But for all I know they can live in a ditch
On first impressions I depend

It's nothing to do with reality
It's all about how things appear
Can't have anything better than me
I've got to have all the best gear
Got the stage I'm struggling
I've had to start taking out loans
Got the point where I'm remortgaging
I've got to keep up, oh, I've got to keep up with the Jones
