Jenny Can Rely On Me

[Verse 1]
She's been hangin' out back with the alley cats
Brother said he's not having it, black eyes, fat lip
These pricks don't understand what's coming
Rats on a sinking ship
'Cause it's imperative the sedative gets in real quick
Gotta see a lover in another district
With a boy that looks scarier than a pit bull terrier
Swore we were living in an upcoming area

[Verse 2]
Well you're on the cul-de-sac with the runaway pack
'Cause no one would give you slack
Now she knows how it feels running in heels
'Cause the deal was a fucking trap
Now you're hanging round Jack's with a lot of weed wrap
Complaining about the big smoke
Getting righteous with me, academically
Well at least I remembered to vote

[Chorus]
I cried when Jenny, when I was unhappy
Now the tables turned, I said Jenny
Jenny can rely on me
Jenny can rely on me
[Verse 3]
His next door neighbour, she's a right little raver
Makes money when she babysits
He said, "Same shit, different day, nothing new around the way"
Back to the local for drinks
And in a dead-end town, gravel on the ground
You're vandalising for kicks
He said, "Ma, I feel trapped in this cul-de-sac"
She said, "Sweetheart, we got transport links"

[Chorus]
I cried when Jenny, when I was unhappy
Now the tables turned, I said Jenny
Jenny can rely on me
Jenny can rely on me
