Oil City Kings

Lyrics

YOU CAN’T WIN

He’s not quite sure about the way
His wife’s living her life now
Since she moved out to Spain
To live with her lesbian friend now
It’s such a shame that life traps you
In a game you can’t win now

He’s havng second thoughts about
The avalanche of drink and drugs now
Since he just turned sixty
And he can’t quite remember his name now
It’s such a shame...

He’d like to think he’s still the Casanova he was when he was young now
But he’s got a skin condition and weighs
Twenty seven stone now
It’s such a shame...

He was “the boy most likely to”
When he left school now
But he’s grown to be the man most likely to achieve not a lot now
It’s such a shame...
