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.
