You Might 313 Lyrics

You Might 313

off to face the world again

past the bathroom mirror

ignorance is bliss, they say

couldn't be much clearer



imaging what might have been

thinking it could still be

all the lost years in between

still a sucker for a dream



you might be an oil tycoon

you might be a Cobb cartoon

you might be a Gershwin tune

you might be but you're not

you might be a nations fall

you might be an eagles call

you might be the Albert Hall

you might be but you're not



play the fool and act the clown

impress your friends and neighbours

not so good when you come down

with nothing for your labours



you could've been a movie star

you could've been a hero

you could have won a bridge too far

the best you get is no cigar



you might be an oil tycoon

you might be a Cobb cartoon

you might be a Gershwin tune

you might be but you're not



you are what you are

you see what you see



you might be an oil tycoon

you might be a Cobb cartoon

you might be a Gershwin tune

you might be but you're not

you might be a nations fall

you might be an eagles call

you might be the Albert Hall

you might be but you're not





wild_horses



on the top of an office block

sits a man of business, a man of means

he's got intrays and ashtrays

he is up to his neck in computers and tragedy queens

undermining his overdraft with lunches with the president

he got indecision and indigestion

and he wonders where the last ten million went

but what do i get when i say to his face?

let me take you to a better place



wild horses wouldn't drag me there

wild horses wouldn't make me care

i know where i belong

and i've been here too long

wild horses wouldn't drag me there

wild horses wouldn't make me care

i know where i belong

and i've been here too long



on the side of a mountain 

lives a man of nature, a man of peace

he got no food and no money

and he's waiting for his merciful release

works his fingers to the bone

just to make it through the winter snows

he's got nothing to do and no one to do it to

and he wonders where the buffalo goes

but what do i get when i say to his face?

let me take you to a better place



wild horses wouldn't drag me there

wild horses wouldn't make me care

i know where i belong

and i've been here too long

wild horses wouldn't drag me there

wild horses wouldn't make me care

i know where i belong

and i've been here too long

wild horses wouldn't drag me there

wild horses wouldn't make me care

i know where i belong

and i've been here too long

wild horses wouldn't drag me there

wild horses wouldn't make me care

i know where i belong

and i've been here too long
