Baked Beans was the final single from George Moir’s sophomore EP; Guide to Growing
The song talks about the struggles of living on a low-income while also talking about his aspiration to keep working in order to live a better life.
[Verse 1]
Well, the meter's running out again
I swear that I just topped it up
I wish I had the cash to turn the heating on
'Cause there's frost on my window
Condensation on my pillow
I know the air here ain't great for my health
The spores are living in my lungs
Don't wanna eat the bread that I bought for myself
'Cause there are rodents in my house
Man, that's a well-fed looking mouse
[Chorus]
Baked beans for dinner
Won't make me a winner
I bet caviar tastes wеird anyway
But I'm still gonna get there somеday
Baked beans for dinner
Every day I get thinner
Adding oats stops a bit of the bellyache
Fill the hole that the dwindling money makes
With baked beans, baked beans
They'll get me through the year
[Verse 2]
My roommate went and left without a trace (I don't know where)
Goodness me, it's such a mess
And If you're saying now it's double that I owe
Then I could really use a loan
For this tin can of a home
[Chorus]
Baked beans for dinner
Won't make me a winner
I bet caviar tastes weird anyway
But I'm still gonna get there someday
Baked beans for dinner
Every day I get thinner
Adding oats stops a bit of the bellyache
Fill the hole that the dwindling money makes
With baked beans, baked beans
They'll get me through the year
[Bridge]
They'll get me through the year
They'll get me through the year
They'll get me through the year
[Chorus]
Baked beans for dinner
Won't make me a winner
I bet caviar tastes weird anyway
But I'm still gonna get there someday
With baked beans, baked beans
They'll get me through the year
