A little background to Reg ….everyone he meets tells him just to stop and sort himself out ….is it really that easy

                            DIY

They tell me I’ve got to do it my self
Its just a touch of DiY
To pull my self together
although the edges are whey too wide
Easier said than done
Walk a mile in my shoes
and you’ll understand why its a hard thing to do

I wake in the morning
My head it aches
My hands are shaking and I’m not quite awake
I reach for the bottle just to stop the shake
Suddenly my world is back and its wide awake

The day starts with a shine
Everything looks colourful and wild
All my life I’ve been trying to run away from me
From a childhood that wasn’t that great
From a life in the pits
Being dragged up by junkies
well it was shit

They tell me I’ve got to do it my self
Its just a touch of DiY
To pull my self together
although the edges are whey too wide
Easier said than done
Walk a mile in my shoes
and you’ll understand why its a hard thing to do

From foster home
to the street
I walk alone
I don’t like anyone I meet
I trust no one and none can trust me
Its a lonely life
But it will be what it will be

They tell me I’ve got to do it my self pull myself together
Sort myself out
All I got to do is stop

Then the reality of time
the reality of life
Hits you square in the face

They tell me I’ve got to do it my self
Its just a touch of DiY
To pull my self together
although the edges are whey too wide
Easier said than done
Walk a mile in my shoes
and you’ll understand why its a hard thing to do

I wake in the morning
My body it aches
My hands are shaking and I’m not quite awake
I reach for the bottle
just to stop the shake
Suddenly my world is back andi’m wide wide awake

Back in this nightmare of life
Walking the streets

What it is I’ve got to do
Its simple you say
Pull yourself together
And you’ll be on your way
And everything will be ok
You tell me with certainty because thats your way
