If I Start With The Chorus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I start with the chorus as I progress with this song
Even though it's arse over backwards
Sometimes it pays to be wrong
When your life is in a turmoil be it sad or incomplete
No use crying over spilt milk
Think like a cat and be pleased
This is the verse this is the sound of my life
And I for one can't take it
Funny how things just go from bad to worse
It never stops until it really hurts
When your life is in a quandary be it sad or incomplete
Think of those worse off than you perhaps
Might give some kind of relief
This is the verse this is the sound of my life
And I for one can't take it
You know she's not she's all cracked up to be
You're better off without her wait and see
If I start with the chorus as I progress with this song
Even though it's arse over backwards
Sometimes it pays to be wrong
