Paul Heaton
You’re Gonna Miss Me
[Verse 1]
Confidence low
Bills sky-high
Who you gonna miss? There's no other guy
(You're gonna miss him, when he's gone)
Government's crashed
Banks are bust
Hospitals shut, who you gonna trust?
(You're gonna miss him, when he's gone)
[Pre-Chorus]
Worst mistake you ever did make
You're gonna borrow that great digger-spade
You're gonna dig up me up
When I'm gone
[Chorus]
(You're gonna miss him, when he's gone)
You bastards, you
(You're gonna miss him, when he's gone)
You bastards, you
(You're gonna miss him, when he's gone)
Who you gonna have as your #1?
(You're gonna miss him)
You bastards, you
[Verse 2]
(Left's gone right, red's gone blue
The king is dead, what you gonna do?)
You're gonna miss me, when I'm gone
(Beer's run low, whisky's out
Your local's closed, who you gonna shout?)
You're gonna miss me, when I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Worst mistake you ever did make
You're gonna borrow that great digger-spade
You're gonna dig up me up
When I'm gone
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
He can't be national treasure
No OBE awaits (OBE awaits)
You'd better praise him here and now
Before he hits those gates
Sing 'Hallelujah, the king is here!
Long may he reign!'
You bastards are heading for
A life of pain
A life of pain
A life of pain, pain, pain
A life of pain
A life of pain
A life of pain
You're gonna miss me, when I'm gone...
