Lyrics
678
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.
No I never was going to be first out of the stalls
No I never was going to be six, seven, eight feet tall
No I never was going to be signed up big
No I never was going to be dressing up
But at the back of my mind
I was always hoping I might just get by
But at the back of my mind
I was always hoping that I might just get by
No I never was going to be all that impressed
No I never was going to be out of there
No I never was going to be ahead of the rest
At the back of my mind
I was always hoping that I might just get by
At the back of my mind
I was always hoping I might just get by
But at the back of my mind
I was always hoping I might just get by
But at the back of my mind
I was always hoping that I might just get by
Always hoping that I might just get by
Always hoping that I might just get by
Always hoping that I might just get by
Always hoping that I might just get by
