Living in your town
Has got its ups and downs
You’re always on the phone
Complaining that you’re on your own
I can be your man
As and when you need a helping hand
But there’s one thing you must learn
I’m after something in return
So I’m just biding my time
Awaiting payment in kind
Laying under your car
Warm fluids running down my arms
This horizontal time
Just wasn’t what I’d had in mind
Took so long to prise
Your calipers open wide
You’ve had me work so hard
Looking forward now to my reward
Still I’m waiting in line
Awaiting payment in kind
Looked me in the eye
And asked me if I’d like a ride
Well I jumped at the chance
I was thinking that you’d never ask
Vexed look on my face
When you drove me down the Chinese place
I was hoping that my pay
Would stretch to more than a takeaway
Seems I’ve been wasting my time
Awaiting payment in kind
