[Verse 1]
The ads on the telly show homesteads
With fairy lights glowing inside
And when I hear my doorbell ringing
I look for somewhere to hide
Well, I know that the neighbours are talking
And I know what they all like to say
They say "That one has nothing to her name"
Now they're trying to take it away
[Chorus]
Cause you can't pay the rent with a candle
You can't build a house from a flame
You can't expect somethin' from nothin'
And you can't expect different from the same
[Verse 2]
You better keep up your a-payments
It's the bit they don't want you to see
Now I'm singing, my daughter is trouble
But I know the real trouble is me
Too much wine, too much vodka
And the tears are starting to run
I won't see the face of my daughter
When she finds out what I've done
The ads on the telly show homesteads
With fairy lights glowing inside
And when I hear my doorbell ringing
I look for somewhere to hide
Well, I know that the neighbours are talking
And I know what they all like to say
They say "That one has nothing to her name"
Now they're trying to take it away
[Chorus]
Cause you can't pay the rent with a candle
You can't build a house from a flame
You can't expect somethin' from nothin'
And you can't expect different from the same
[Verse 2]
You better keep up your a-payments
It's the bit they don't want you to see
Now I'm singing, my daughter is trouble
But I know the real trouble is me
Too much wine, too much vodka
And the tears are starting to run
I won't see the face of my daughter
When she finds out what I've done
