Louis Dunford - Bossman

^GI'm in the toi^Clets of a shit old c^Glub While all of th^Dese other boys are taking dr^Emugs I'm talking with B^Cossman about love an^Gd loss and Where life goes wr^Dong

^G'cause he works all^C night just to take home a wa^Gge Selling chewing gum and lol^Dlypops and cheap aftersh^Emaves To the boys in ^Chuaraches sniffing cocaine off car ^Gkeys All night lo^Dng

^GAnd I say m^Cate Don't you ever get sick of the si^Gght Of the dru^Dnken fights And the sm^Emell of shit sick and p^Ciss ^GThere's got to be ^Dmore to life than th^Gis ^D

^GAnd he said son I've ^Cgot no riches to bo^Gast But see in luck an^Dd love I swear I'm richer than ^Emmost I've got a wife and two ki^Cds ^GThere's so much more to my life than t^Dhis

^GSo no spray no la^Cy no splash no ga^Gsh Cheap aftersha^Dves in exchange for ca^Emsh I'm not making a kil^Cling bruv But I'm making a liv^Ging and that's eno^Dugh

^GI'm on my way home in^C the backseat of a c^Gab And I'm talking with b^Dossman while I eat my keb^Emab I'll ask him if he's been b^Cusy what time he gets off an^Gd dizzy From 'round this wa^Dy

'^Gcause he works all n^Cight on a twelve-hour sh^Gift With the gypsy jea^Dns and the beauty queens and the lads on the p^Emiss They've had a couple of sha^Cndies mixed with charlie and ma^Gndy Every weekend's the s^Dame

^GAnd I say ma^Cte don't you ever get s^Gick of abuse from the dr^Dunken youths Leaning out your window being s^Emick There's got to be m^Core to life than t^Ghis ^D

^GAnd he said so^Cn I've got no riches you s^Gee But my son's at sc^Dhool and education ain't f^Emree He'll be a doctor some^Cday ^GIf he wants a future we've got to p^Day

^GSo I'll drive all n^Cight with these drunken ki^Gds Who need to stop to get c^Dash or need to stop for a p^Emiss I'm not making a kil^Cling bruv But I'm making a liv^Ging and that's enou^Dgh

^GI'm at the coun^Cter of my local s^Ghop Where bossman's been wor^Dking since we were kids in the bl^Emocks Every Saturday n^Cight he would serve me with my fake ^GID when I was fifteen years o^Dld

^GAnd he's still there n^Cow before I go to b^Ged And in the morning with the ba^Dkers a pint of milk and loaf of br^Emead He sleeps and he sho^Cwers then works another twenty four ho^Gurs You see it's taking its to^Dll

^GAnd I say m^Cate don't you ever get si^Gck of this place sta^Dcking shelves every day Come on bruv you've got to a^Emdmit there's got to be mo^Cre to life than th^Gis ^D

^GAnd he said s^Con I'm barely making ends m^Geet But there's a war back ho^Dme and people die in the st^Emreet Said I thank God every d^Cay that me and my fa^Gmily have got aw^Day

^GSo I'll spend my l^Cife in this shop but it's ^Gsweet 'cause I don't fight to su^Drvive and I don't fight just to ^Emeat And I'm not making a kil^Cling bruv But I'm alive and I'm li^Gving and that's en^Dough
