Lyrics

Hey Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey Hey
You drive out west for a job you don’t like
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Your friends have all left you for brand new lives
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Your Paperback packed till looks brand new
And the troubles that left are following you
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Take a look around see all the posers
Only costs $5 to smell day old roses
So you drove so far that you never looked back
Hey Hey Hey Hey
You think you’re on a holiday just gone off track
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Still have that denim jacket worn in 92
With an iron-on transfer Banshee’s Sioux Sui
Take a look around see all the posers
Only costs $5 to smell day old roses

Got yourself a car & job no one trick pony
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Even got a girl friend you mentioned Naomi
Hey Hey Hey Hey
You started reading books and planting garden beds
And the Bantams that annoyed you are now laying eggs

Take a look around see all the posers
Only costs $5 to smell day old roses
Take a look around see all the posers
It only costs $5 to smell day old roses
Only costs $5 to smell day old roses
It Only costs $5 to smell day old roses
It Only costs $5 to smell day old roses
$5
$5
Day old roses es
Day old roses es
Day old roses
Day old roses
Day old roses
Day old roses
Hey Hey Hey Hey
