Pencil Full Of Lead Lyrics
I’ve got a sheet for my bed
And a pillow for my head
I’ve got a pencil full of lead
And some water for my throat
I’ve got buttons for my coat
And sails on my boat
So much more than I needed before
I got money in the meter
And a two bar heater
Oh now it’s getting hotter
It’s only getting sweeter
I’ve legs on my chair
and a head full of hair
Got in a band
And shoes on my feet
I’ve got a shelf full of books
And most of my teeth
Two pairs of socks
And a door with a lock
I’ve got food in my belly and a
License for my telly
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
I’ve got a nice guitar and jazz in my car
I’ve got of me and means and scripts for the scenes
I’m out and about
So I’m in with a shout
Favorite chap but better than that
Food in my belly and a
License for my telly
And nothin’s, nothin’s gonna bring me down
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
Best of all
I’ve got my baby
Best of all
I’ve got my baby
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
Best of all
I’ve got my baby
Best of all
I’ve got my baby
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
And a pillow for my head
I’ve got a pencil full of lead
And some water for my throat
I’ve got buttons for my coat
And sails on my boat
So much more than I needed before
I got money in the meter
And a two bar heater
Oh now it’s getting hotter
It’s only getting sweeter
I’ve legs on my chair
and a head full of hair
Got in a band
And shoes on my feet
I’ve got a shelf full of books
And most of my teeth
Two pairs of socks
And a door with a lock
I’ve got food in my belly and a
License for my telly
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
I’ve got of me and means and scripts for the scenes
I’m out and about
So I’m in with a shout
Favorite chap but better than that
Food in my belly and a
License for my telly
And nothin’s, nothin’s gonna bring me down
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
I’ve got my baby
Best of all
I’ve got my baby
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
I’ve got my baby
Best of all
I’ve got my baby
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down
She’s mighty fine and she’s all mine
And nothin’s gonna bring me down

i love this song. it's probably my favourite in the album. it makes you feel good. i think to be honest it's pretty self explanitory. he is having one of these days where everything just feels good. he has everything he needs and he's pretty happy about it. like that feeling when you're with someone and nothing seems to make life terrible because they're around. oh and i love the trumpet at the begining. it reminds me a bit of the jungle book for some reason. =D
It reminds me of the Jungle Book too! The King Louie bit :)

Listen to "Hole in her Stocking" by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band from the Framed Album. Paolo Nutini sounds to me as if he has modelled his vocal style on fellow Scot Alex Harvey, and there are a lot of similarities in the music too. And yes, "pencil full of lead" does mean that Little Red Shoes!
this song makes me wanna get up and DANCE :D
ive got a pecil full of plutonium!!!:p :p !?¿¡!?¿¡!??§-=◎.◎=
I don't know if this is true, but I hear 'pencil full of lead' is a euphemism for something else! :)
