Don't Want To Pay
Darren Hanlon
The doors to the cinema are open for the taking
Like a cat on a mouse, I'm ready to pounce
Before my nerve starts breaking
And if I'm caught by the ticket collector
I promise I will always respect her
She might be feeling like her job
Is like that out-of-date ticket stub
And I get a thrill
I just take one seat that Hollywood couldn't fill
Because I don't want to pay
No, I don't want to pay
When there's no-one on the door
You won't see me anymore
Because I don't want to pay
It's not an exercise in saving money
I don't do it to impress my friends
I do it to start that thing in my heart
That fills me with adrenalin
'Cause I'm a rebel without a ticket
Yeah, I'm a matinee mutineer
How can you know what I'm searching for
Until you feel that post-sneak euphoria?
And I get a thrill
If only for the want of time to kill
Because I don't want to pay
Yeah, I don't want to pay
When there's no-one on the door
You won't see me anymore
Because I don't want to pay
No I don't want to pay
It's not the size of your budget
But what you do with it that counts
