Graham Gouldman Born To Lose Lyrics

Born To Lose Lyrics

He was born in a very bad part of town
Where the sun never shone
And the
people went round with their heads hung low
There was no work to do nowhere
to go
And so he was born to lose

Well he got up one morning and he
switched on his TV
There was a whole lot of people
One big happy
family
And he knew that's the place he had to be
So he got himself
up
He brushed himself down
He read some books and he oiled his
brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never
be the same again
No more were you born to lose

Hey boy what you
gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself
up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose

Now he
takes his place as one of the family
All together different colours and
lookin' so fine
In the same place and at the same time
'Cause he pulled
himself up
And got himself out
He read some books and he oiled his
brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never
be the same again
No more you were born to lose

Hey boy what you
gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself
up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose

Hey
boy etc.
