The Dice Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott

[Verse 1]
Born into a certain life
You'll only roll a one
Lucky to even hold the thing
Before the chance is gone

You're Bransholme or you're Manor Top
You're Old Kent Road or same
Quickly learn in life, playing on this board
You'll never reach Park Lane

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And we knew a decent holiday
Was something out of reach
When they drove us to the pub carpark
And told us, 'That's the beach'

[Verse 2]
Born into a better class
That only rolls a two
A slightly lighter accent and
A slighter better shoe

Those shoes are walking on thin ice
Though you hold a decent job
Looking at this dump, one financial slump
Straight back on the rob
