Can't get arrested - Nik Kershaw

You’ve got to laugh though it’s not funny

You’ve got to laugh, or you would surely cry

Can’t buy a chance for love or money

Can’t get arrested however hard you try

Your heart is numb, you’ve screamed and shouted

Banged on the door relentlessly

They should have come, no doubt about it To lock you up and throw away the key

You’ve got to laugh though it’s not funny

You’ve got to laugh, or you would surely cry

Can’t buy a chance for love or money

Can’t get arrested however hard you try

It’s so unfair how unfair this is You’ve done some things beyond the pale

You’ve broken hearts and stolen kisses

Still not enough to get you into gaol

Well, it must feel like you’re invisible

Say, do they know that you’re alive

So what you gonna try now?

Hey what you gonna try?

And now it’s time to rest your poor head

You tried it all, you tried it all

You might as well have stayed in your bed

You might as well be a flower on the wall

You’ve got to laugh though it’s not funny

You’ve got to laugh, or you would surely cry

Can’t buy a chance for love or money

Can’t get arrested however hard you try
