Seconds

She / she used to live with his brother / Now she's an unmarried mother / with another /

on the way / He's seond rate / twisted out of shape / and he looks a state, it costs so

much to look this rough / They go to town / they like to shop around / and look at all

those things / All those things they never wnated anyway / She hates his hair / that

stupid coat he wears / but sometimes second best / is the best that you can get / Oh yes /

oh somebody told me / 'cos seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days / but

still it feels like morning / The first time leaves its trace / and then slides into

second place / and still it feels like morning / At night they try to fly / hold on tight

and close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning / But in the morning it's

raining / Oh Christ you're always complaining / can't you think of something else / It's

nearly-nu / a bargain basement made for two / and if you blur your eyes / you could be

anywhere / you want yourself to be / Oh yeah, it's bad / I know you want to laugh, so

laugh / But sometimes second best / Is all that you can get / Oh yeah / oh somebody told

me / the seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like

morning / The first time leaves its trace / and then slides into second place / and still

it feels like morning / At night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes /

and they hit the ground in the morning / But you're so perfect you don't interest me at

all / You're golden boy fell down / Don't you know / he hasn't got a personality? / And I

know / he said he'd last all night then gave you seconds / yeah / The seconds turn to

hours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning / The first time

leaves its trace / and then slides into second place / and still it feels like morning /

At night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes / and they hit the ground in

the morning / My God they're still alive / they got it wrong but they still tried / and

they made it through to the morning.
