Arabian Derby Lyrics

Arabian Derby lyrics

I never feared the rain

 Until you turned to me and said it failed again

 It makes a perfect day so lame

 And leads as halfway to nowhere

 

 So the players have changed

 Soon we'll memorise the names

 But somehow something's never quite the same

 Still we stake a claim - you can count us in again

 

 And everyone's a winner baby

 Head your bets, get set

 And maybe we could be the first to cross the line

 

 Get up, get set, get ready

 Get high, get low, get even

 Cause we're living in the middle of time

 Chasing the ultimate prize

 

 You'd make a fine millionaire

 It's only natural to celebrate

 But someone's got to be there to pay

 And we never get there

 

 So take some time on our own

 We burn in us alone

 Close but still not fully grown

 Pulling marrow from a bone

 

 But there's no sin in that, so count us in again

 

 And everyone's a winner baby

 Head your bets, get set

 And maybe we could be the first to cross the line

 

 Everyone's a winner, baby

 Everyone's a winner, baby

 

 Going back to the old house

 The marigolds just go to show

 That some of us would never have left home

 But see I'm still counting

 

 Another flash in the pan

 Achieves an instant forming tan

 It seems to grow on me

 Taking inches from a mile

 

 No change there, but I'm all for throwing it on the line

 

 Cause everyone's a winner baby

 Head your bets, get set

 And maybe we could be the first to cross the line

 

 Get up, get set, get ready

 Get high, get low to get even

 Cause we're living in the middle of time

 Chasing the ultimate prize

 

 Everyone's a winner baby

 Everyone's a winner baby

 Everyone's a winner baby
