What a waster, what a fucking waster
You pissed it all up the wall
Round the corner where they chased her

There's tears coming out from everywhere
The city's hard, the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No you mind yer bleedin' own you two bob cunt

When she wakes up in the morning
She writes down all her dreams
Reads like the book of revelations
Or the Beano or the unabridged Ulysses

Oh I really want to know
So tell me, where does all the money go
Where does all the money go
Straight, straight up her nose

And I never really liked it any way
So much preferred it the other way yeah

What a divvy what a fucking div
Talking like a moron, walking like a spiv
I was laying in bed paying my rent
Knocking on the door for something

That she lent her brother
Meanwhile from under the covers she says
Save me from tomorrow, save me from tomorrow
Oh no, Oh no not me

And I never never liked it any way
So much preferred it the other way yeah
Never really liked it any way
So much preferred it the other way yeah

What a waster, what a fucking waster
You pissed it all up the wall
Round the corner where they chased her

There's tears coming out from everywhere
The city's hard the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No you mind yer bleedin' own you two bob cunt

What a waster, what a fucking waster
You pissed it all up the wall
Round the corner where they chased her

There's tears coming out from everywhere
The city's hard the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No you mind yer bleedin' own you two bob cunt

    Song Meaning:Basically...All of your interpretations are wrong. The reason why I know this is because I now know why Pete wrote this song and what it is about. This is from Pete's official blog and he wrote about the things which influenced him to right this- well- controvesial song(?)

    It is well worth the read, although he sometimes drifts off into his own world in this forum (!) anyway it explains it. But be warned it is a proper depressing subject. Ha.

    Enjoy. Thank me later!

    Lyric Correction:What a waster, what a fucking waster
    You pissed it all up the wall
    Round the corner where they chased it
    Theres tears coming out from everywhere
    The citys hard, the citys fair
    Get back inside you've got nothing on now
    I aint yer bleedin enemy, you two bob cunt

    When she wakes up in the morning
    She writes down all her dreams
    Reads like the book of revelations
    Or the Beano or the unabridged Ulysses
    Oh I really wanna know
    So tell me, where does all the money go?
    Where does all the money go?
    Straight, straight up her nose!

    And I never really liked it anyway
    So much preferred it the other way, yeah

    What a divvy, what a fucking div
    Talking like a moron, walking like a spiv
    I was laying in bed, paying my rent
    She was knocking on the door for something that she lent her brother
    Meanwhile, from under the covers, she says
    Save me from tommorow
    Save me from tommorow
    Oh no, Oh no not me

    And I never really liked it anyway
    So much preferred it the other way yeah
    Never really liked it any way
    So much preferred it the other way yeah

    What a waster, what a fucking waster
    You pissed it all up the wall,
    Round the corner where they chased it
    Theres tears coming out from everywhere
    The citys hard the citys fair
    Get back inside you've got nothing on
    I aint yer bleedin enemy, you two bob cunt

    Song Meaning:Peter Doherty has described "What a Waster" as "the most self-explanatory song in the history of pop." A "waster", as used in the song, is an excessive user of drugs and alcohol.
