Good as it gets


Johnny went and joined the army, says he wants to see the world.
Said he wants to get some money, (?)stage(?) himself into a girl.

Suzie says she needs some lovin', says she really wants it bad.
Says she's gonna start a family to get the love she never had.
She don't wanna sell her sex for money, she don't wanna dance around the pole.
Says she kind of thinks it's funny, the things she does for birth control.

I know you always wanted champagne (?)
And I know you always said to me, there's something you don't get.
But all I have to give to you is cheap wine and cigarettes.
But let me tell you, honey now, this is as good as it gets.

Mother goes and (?)gets the shopping(?), puts a coat on in the rain.
She doesn't like to talk about it, but her back's in pain again.

Father sits in front the telly, the football is about to start.
Opens up another beer can, pulls aside and lets a fart.
We're all together going nowhere, numbered in production lines.
Looking like the one beside you, happiness is the only crime.

I know you always wanted champagne (?)
And I know you always said to me, there's something you don't get.But all I have to give to you is cheap wine and cigarettes.
But let me tell you, sweetheart now, this is as good as it gets

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics GOOD AS IT GETS of ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE is also present in the album The road to rampton (2007)

Biografia

Anti-Nowhere League is an English punk band formed in 1980 in London. Known for their aggressive sound and provocative lyrics, the group achieved moderate success in the 1980s with songs like «So What» and «We Want The Truth». The band's name comes from a phrase spoken by John Wayne's character in the film *The Searchers*. The current lineup features vocalist Animal (Nick Culmer), along with Magoo (Chris Exall) on guitar, Bones (Tony Shaw) on drums, and Baggy Elvy on bass. Anti-Nowhere League is considered one of the most representative bands of the English punk movement of the 1980s.
