Nik Kershaw - Can't Get Arrested Lyrics

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
