Just When I Needed You Most

When we were beggin you
Just do what you can do
We were struggling for some way to pay
They had left us in pain
Left us out in the rain
But you could have found us a way
Oh darlin'
You knew how we were short
You were out last resort
Where we'd find credit
God only knows
Bcause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Because you left me
Just when I needed you the most

You said you made your bed
That's where you'll lay your head
There'll be no handout from me
But we were down on the floor
And they'd soon be at our door
Demanding their cash right away
Oh darlin'
We were feelin the heat
You had to be so discreet
Cos where we'd find credit
God only knows
Because you left me
Just when I needed you most
Because you left me
Just when I needed you most

But when you saw the news
Those long and desperate queues
Of Northern Rock savers that day
You knew you'd left it too late
Abandoned us to our fate
Now there was no other way
That's when you said you win
But you'll pay for your sin
We're in the lifeboat
We're headin your way
Because you left me
Just when I needed you most
Because you left me
just when I needed you most

Then someone dished the dirt
They know how it would hurt
the cat was out of the bag
They would call it abuse
We had no more excuse
We'd have to come clean the next day
You blamed the EEC
But how it seems to me
That Robert Peston blew us away
Because you left me
just when I needed you most
Because you left me
just when I needed you most
