Pulp - Seconds Lyrics
She / she used to live with his brother / now shes an unmarried mother / with another /On the way / hes seond rate / twisted out of shape / and he looks a state, it costs soMuch to look this rough / they go to town / they like to shop around / and look at allThose things / all those things they never wnated anyway / she hates his hair / thatStupid coat he wears / but sometimes second best / is the best that you can get / oh yes /Oh somebody told me / cos seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days / butStill it feels like morning / the first time leaves its trace / and then slides intoSecond place / and still it feels like morning / at night they try to fly / hold on tightAnd close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning / but in the morning itsRaining / oh christ youre always complaining / cant you think of something else / itsNearly-nu / a bargain basement made for two / and if you blur your eyes / you could beAnywhere / you want yourself to be / oh yeah, its bad / I know you want to laugh, soLaugh / but sometimes second best / is all that you can get / oh yeah / oh somebody toldMe / the seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels likeMorning / the first time leaves its trace / and then slides into second place / and stillIt feels like morning / at night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes /And they hit the ground in the morning / but youre so perfect you dont interest me atAll / youre golden boy fell down / dont you know / he hasnt got a personality? / and iKnow / he said hed last all night then gave you seconds / yeah / the seconds turn toHours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning / the first timeLeaves its trace / and then slides into second place / and still it feels like morning /At night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes / and they hit the ground inThe morning / my God theyre still alive / they got it wrong but they still tried / andThey made it through to the morning.
