I saved my life,
but sold my soul,
I've broken down, cried
and lost control
I stood there screaming
at the top of my voice
Angry, exhausted,
but I don't have a choice
So I've surrendered and
thrown the towel in
You stood the triumphing,
with a big, fat grin
But winning was not enough,
not for you
You wanted me to suffer,
there was worse I'd have to go thru
You're changing places
of good and bad
The lot I could have
and the little I had
But you're not the kinda person
I want to fight
So I turned my back on you
and swallowed my pride
I'm no longer rueful
or afraid of you
You've made a mistake
and one day you'll pay your dues
jools England
