Harvey Andrews - Life! lyrics
Well, somebody had to come second I think it's the best that I've done As I entered the straight, the tape beckoned But he just chested past me and won Still, I'm only 18, I'll get faster I started this sport just for fun But there's lots more to learn, lots to master You don't just go out there and run Well, somebody had to come third love I gave it my lot, all the way I flew round that bend like a bird, love But then, it just wasn't my day Still, I'm 23, getting stronger And I'm certain I'm giving my all It's just that the distance seems longer And the pleasures beginning to pall Well, somebody had to come fourth, dear I tried just as hard as I could But the wind at this track's from the north dear And that never does me any good Still, at 30, you've got to be sure, love These youngsters are lacking the skill And I've grown to be fast and mature love I'll win, I believe that I will. Well, somebody had to fill fifth place My legs were like lead at the end I know, it's a terrible disgrace, But that's it, I'm finished my friend At 35 nobody fears you Nobody cheers at your name No need for that blanket, no tears now You remember that early acclaim Well, somebody had to come last now Or else how could we have a race I let all the others go past, how They elbowed and pushed and lost face Me? I enjoyed the fine weather And kept myself clear of their maul At 40, just finishing's clever And the pleasures in running, that's all Well, I've never been first 'cross the line love I've not made a penny o brass But I reckon it all worked out fine love I just never reached the top class Now I see 'em all jiggered with joggin' Their faces distorted with pain Such grief, it makes me need a noggin Let's be first down the tavern again Such grief it makes me need a noggin Let's be first down the "king's head" again. |
