You win some and you lose some\\
and I've lost the will to lose\\
with my part-time job\\
and my faith in God\\
falling on a bruise\\
\\
And this no star bed and breakfast\\
and [[insolvency-abuse|insolvency abuse]]\\
make me feel like throwing myself\\
off the kitchen shelf\\
falling on a bruise\\
\\
And all of my unworldly goods,\\
the bailiffs took them too\\
for all the ducked bills and silly sods\\
from [[Brian Mills]]' catalogue\\
[[something borrowed, bartered and blew]]\\
\\
You win some and you lose some\\
and you save nothing for a rainy day\\
you need your [[nutrasweet daddy]]\\
some [[peppermint paddy]]\\
or just a [[hackneyed old cabbie]]\\
who can drive you and your babby away\\
\\
Two fives or a ten\\
could get me back to you\\
and stop me\\
falling for a bruise\\
\\
(It's not that I'm [[agrophobic|agrophobic]]\\
it's just that it's not safe\\
to go out anymore so I just\\
stay indoors with my T.V. Times.\\
my petty crimes and my nursery\\
rhymes, someone said that the\\
sound of a baby crying is the\\
most beautiful sound in the\\
world and beauty is in the eye\\
of the beholder but as my heart\\
grows colder. and colder I just\\
feel so tired. The fridge is empty,\\
the walls are damp, there's no hot\\
water and I look like a tramp and\\
[[born_to_run|tramps like us baby we were born\\
to]]  walk but where does a mother's\\
girl go when her mother's gone?\\
Some you win and some you lose\\
I've spent my whole lifetime\\
falling on a bruise and if I had\\
the chance to do it all again\\
I'd change everything.)\\

[[alfie|I don't know]]\\
[[alfie|it seems to me if they ain't got you one way]]\\
[[alfie|they've got you another]]\\
[[alfie|So what's the answer?]]\\
[[alfie|That's what I keep asking myself]]\\
[[alfie|What's it all about?]]\\
[[alfie|Know what I mean?]] \\
