Why Did I Listen To That Music?

It's Made Me Feel So Sad

And Brought It Home To Me Once More

I Want What I Cannot Have

When You Can't Get What You Want

You Still Have All The Rest

But Isn't It Sad To Settle For Second-best?



I've Been Waiting At Home

For Someone To Phone

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

Without Living That Old Cliche

I've Been Lying In Bed

The Sheets Over My Head

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

Without Giving Up In Dismay



Told Everyone I'm Over It

I've Quit This Cul-de-sac

But Just When I Thought

I'd Lost It For Good

That Feeling Comes Right Back

When You Can't Get What You Want

You Wear Your Bravest Face

But Deep Inside You're Sinking Without A Trace



I've Been Called Repressed

A Poet, A Pest

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

Without Getting In Someone's Way

I Live My Life On A Stage

Put It Down On The Page

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

Without Writing A Resume

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today



I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today



I've Explored Situations

The Themes And Variations

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

Without Losing It On The Way

On The Street Of Shame

Looking For Someone To Blame

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

Without Leaving In Disarray

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today
