Well the times are tough
 
 And I'm scratching my chin
 
 And the curtains are filthy inside
 
  
  Well the kettle's boiled
 
 But there's instant coffee
 
 And the TV figures are aloud
 
 The tiles on the bathroom floor are sticky
 
 And the shower curtain's got big stains
 
 I'm thinking about the car ride today
 
 There's no fireworks here tonight
  
 
 Welcome to the shackle, welcome to the shackle yeah
 
 Welcome to the shackle, welcome to your life
  
 
 Tomorrow will be just the same
 
 A couple of hours or more
 
 The frig don't work and it makes a sound
 
 And the room smells of take-out food
 
 Well the window's dirty and the carpets beige
 
 And my pants don't fit me right
 
 I'm walking around this hotel room
 
 There's no fireworks here tonight
  
 
 Welcome to the shackle, welcome to the shackle yeah
 
 Welcome to the shackle, welcome to your life
  
 
 I'm looking east and I'm looking west
 
 And I can see the clouds in the sky
 
 I've seen the signs in the sky
 
 But they're always on my mind
 
 Space junk is floating round
 
 And there's a tingle up my spine
 
 Well Paul and Craig and I have walked around this hotel room
 
 There's no fireworks here tonight
  
 
 Welcome to the shackle, welcome to the shackle yeah
 
 Welcome to the shackle, welcome to the your life
