It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career
|
|
He had a stroke at the age of 24
|
It could have been a brilliant career
|
Painting lines in a school that was too well known
|
Painting lines with a friend that had gone before
|
She challenged everyone to a fight
|
But the prefects all backed down
|
And they ran her out of town
|
Cause she drank and swore and spoke
|
Out of turn, she was the village joke
|
She had a stroke at the age of 24
|
It could have been a brilliant career
|
Getting clients to finance her strategies
|
Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday
|
She wears the clothes of an emperor
|
But her paintings are a sham
|
And they're going for a grand
|
When the dealers come to view
|
Do they ever see the real you?
|
|
He had a stroke at the age of 24
|
It could have been a brilliant career
|
Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes
|
Pulling the wool, playing the fool, it's no wonder that
|
He is dribbling spit tonight
|
And the one he sent away
|
Was the only one who stayed
|
With a spoon and a decent book
|
And you can tell by the way she looks he is sorry and resigned
|
As he wets himself for the final time
|
