Just Cant Win — текст песни (Jimmy Nail)

Words and music by jimmy nail



You wake up in a dlfferent bed

Forgotten every word you said

Do you recognise the person next to you ?

Youre sneeking down the backroom stairs

Braving all ihe public stares

Whats a living legend supposed to do ?



Ive been told that youre looking old

But youre still appearing well preserved to me

Let them stare, let them lose their hair

cos youve seen the movie, read the book

Youve been there, done that, set that look for free



You keep trying but you just cant win

You keep breathlng but the airs too thin

Keep knocking but you cant come in

Keep trying but you just cant win



Looking at your works of art

Banging your peroxide heart

You get them in a lucky bag for free

You said you couldnt live without it

So what you gonna do about it ?

Nostalgias not the game it used to be



And Ive been told about your bands of gold

But I have to say they cut no ice with me

Silver chains that dangle down

And youre tryin hard to beat the clock

Dressed up shouting long live rock & roll



You keep trying but you just cant win

You keop breathing but the airs too thin

Keep knocking but you cant come in

Keep trying but you just cant win
