Low Budget (Live at the Royal Albert Hall, 1993)

[Verse 1]

Cheap is small, but not too steep

But best of all cheap is cheap, yeah

Circumstance has forced my hand

To be a cut price person in a low budget land

Times are hard but we'll all survive

I just got to learn to economize

[Chorus]

I'm on a low budget, what did you say?

Low budget

We're on a low budget

[Verse 2]

Excuse my shoes, you know, they don't quite fit

But I bought them in Manchester and they hurt me a bit

Even my trousers are giving me pain

They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain

Thеy squeeze me tight and I can't take no morе

They're size 28 but I take 34

[Chorus]

I'm on a low budget, what did you say?

Low budget, say it again

Low budget, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

We're on a low budget, what did you say?

Low budget, say it again

Low budget, yeah, I thought you said that, alright

[Verse 3]

I might look like a tramp, but don't write me off

I'll have you all know that I was once a toff

At least my hair is all mine and my teeth are my own

But everything else is on a permanent loan

Once all my clothes were made by hand

Now I'm a cut price person in a low budget land

[Chorus]

On a low budget, what did you say?

Low budget, say it again

Low budget, hey yeah

We're on a low budget

Low budget

Low budget, yeah, oh yeah

[Outro]

Thanks very much, you're great

It really is great to be playing here in London again, yes

Way-oh

Way-hey-hey-oh
