Not Addicted (Explicit) - The Streets

I've never lied to you

It's his lucky day that's a given

He'll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn

He's not addicted he can stop anytime

But this is gonna pay he feels it this one'll be fine

This time I know I'm gonna smash the bet

I foresee it smacked in the back of the net

Men grip slips wipe their hands that sweat

The camera pans the away fans end

Twenty quid for blues to thrash the reds

Then cash that cash when the ref has said

My mate's out his pads a mess

It's getting late I've not dashed yet

Oh the question I have to ask myself

Is can I see us not battering them

If I can't see that happening then

I'm gonna put all my money down on one fat bet

Now I don't know the first thing about football

But my instincts tell me this is my windfall

It's his lucky day that's a given

He'll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn

He's not addicted he can stop anytime

But this is gonna pay he feels it this one'll be fine

This time I know I woulda cashed the lot

I woulda held in my hand the whole jackpot

The games won the ends have a swap

Two nil up they're getting mashed up

But I won't win now the chance flopped

'Cause I couldn't make it to the damn shop

Might as well put tea in that pot

I've got nowhere else I have to bop

The question I have to ask one

Is how I managed not to manage the trot

Maybe I could phone in and slap it on

Put all my money on a mid-match one

Yes I don't know the first thing about football

But my instincts tell me this is my windfall

It's his lucky day that's a given

He'll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn

He's not addicted he can stop anytime

But this is gonna pay he feels it this one'll be fine

Oh sh*t I'm mad glad I didn't back that match

Suppose to be an unproblematic catch

Full time the whistle blasted after

The last passer passed the last pass

Would you believe how we fell back

Three goals lost in the last half

So glad I was stranded back at the flat

Wincing at every goal we let 'em have

The question I now have to ask

Is how the f**k did we get smashed that bad

I just very very nearly nearly

Lost every penny of all my cash

Yes I don't know the first thing about football

And my instincts almost led me to a pitfall

It's his lucky day that was barmy

He didn't tick the box on the slip and what a relief

He's not addicted he can stop anytime

But next time he will be more lucky next time he'll be fined

It's his lucky day that was barmy

He didn't tick the box on the slip and what a relief

He's not addicted he can stop anytime

But next time he will be more lucky next time he'll be fined

I need to rethink the technique of my betting sh*t

Maybe change the parameters a little bit

Instead of betting on to win the football

I'll bet to lose the cricket
