Otis Redding Lyrics


A tenner in my pocket but what's it for
You're only going to do what you did before
You gotta cheap smile you got it from the government
You've gotta go to work it feels just like a punishmentAin't got a job I'm outta my head
I think I'll spend the day in bed
Otis Redding on the dock of the bay
I'll spend the tenner on a takeaway
Otis Redding on the dock of the bay
I'll spend the tenner on a takeawayA tenner in my pocket but what's it for
You're only going to do what you did before
I wanna have a fag I need some Marijuana
Yeah a David Bowie song that day by the riverAin't got a job I'm outta my head
I think I'll spend the day in bed
Otis Redding on the dock of the bay
I'll spend the tenner on a takeaway
Otis Redding on the dock of the bay
I'll spend the tenner on a takeawayA tenner in my pocket but what's it for
You're only going to do what you did before

The telephones ringing there's someone at the door
Yeah I've gotta write a letter I feel it in the weatherAin't got a job I'm outta my head
I think I'll spend the day in bed
Otis Redding on the dock of the bay
I'll spend the tenner on a takeaway
Otis Redding on the dock of the bay
I'll spend the tenner on a takeaway
Otis Redding on the dock of the bay
I'll spend the tenner on a takeaway

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sham 69 formed in Hersham, Surrey in 1976 (the 12 November issue of NME notes they were rehearsing at this time, although only Jimmy Pursey would remain from this early line-up 12 months later). Sham 69 lacked the art school background of many British punk bands of the time, and brought in football chant back-up vocals and a sort of inarticulate political populism. The band had a large skinhead following (left wing, right wing and non-political), which helped set the tone for the Oi! movement.
