Jimmy Nail - Just Can't Win Lyrics
Words and music by jimmy nailYou wake up in a dlfferent bedForgotten every word you saidDo you recognise the person next to you ?Youre sneeking down the backroom stairsBraving all ihe public staresWhats a living legend supposed to do ?Ive been told that youre looking oldBut youre still appearing well preserved to meLet them stare, let them lose their haircos youve seen the movie, read the bookYouve been there, done that, set that look for freeYou keep trying but you just cant winYou keep breathlng but the airs too thinKeep knocking but you cant come inKeep trying but you just cant winLooking at your works of artBanging your peroxide heartYou get them in a lucky bag for freeYou said you couldnt live without itSo what you gonna do about it ?Nostalgias not the game it used to beAnd Ive been told about your bands of goldBut I have to say they cut no ice with meSilver chains that dangle downAnd youre tryin hard to beat the clockDressed up shouting long live rock & rollYou keep trying but you just cant winYou keop breathing but the airs too thinKeep knocking but you cant come inKeep trying but you just cant win
