"waterbed", "sublet" and "ombudsmen"

Explanation:
And here's a little poem off the top of my head called... Translation blues

Stony broke and in the red
I had to sell my waterbed

Even had my flat sublet
To help escape the taxman's net

And when he asked for an extra ten
I had to call the ombudsmen
