You get a ticket to Rio
I get a caravan in Brean for my cash
You get a company speedboat
And I get the bus to Hell and back

You take her skiing in the French Alps
It's a powder-frenzied tax relief
You get a feeling that you can't help
Well I get that too but it comes for free

That's the story of our two lives
You ride your luck and I ride my bike
Well I hope you got your moneys-worth out of me
Don't blame it on the lack of ambition - it's free
I just hope it gets me there, me there

He's got a talent in the city
I had a girlfriend once - a real mate
He calls her 'Little Miss Unzippy'
I used her real name 'cause it's more ornate
You got a way with words they tell me
I got away with theft and nothing else

That's the story of our two lives
You ride your luck and I ride my bike
Well I hope you got your moneys-worth out of me
Don't blame it on the lack of ambition - it's free
Let's just hope it gets me there, me there

You tell me 'Get a real job'
I got a 'real job' thanks - I'm doing fine
You mention that he treats you like a God
You know religion never was a strong point of mine
To you I'm a statistic
I'm still a number if I'm a zero
You'd have me working on my blisters
But my job description still reads 'hero'

That's the story of our two lives
I ride my luck and I ride my bike
And let's just hope it gets me there, me there...

He calls her 'Little Miss Unzippy'
I used her real name 'cause it's more ornate
