Jarvis Cocker – Big Stuff lyrics

Sooner or later, the big stuff comes around...

Well my serotonin levels, they were running low that day
And my self-medication, well, it was getting in the way
Oh, I tried to make excuses, yeah I tried to get away
But one day you are gonna have to pay

(Chorus)

Because sooner or later, the big stuff comes around
Oh yeah, sooner or later, all the big stuff comes to town.

Well you can call it information, you can call it experience
Oh, but suddenly the way you're living, well it don't make any sense
Oh yeah the magic hour is over, now it's time to pay the rent
Oh everything you ever had you spent

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And yeah, it's a long way down, when the big stuff comes to town

Well the things that used to bounce off you now hurt you deep inside
And you used to think you had the world by the balls, now it's taken you for a ride
There ain't no way to work it out, there ain't nowhere to hide
You could not escape this if you tired

(Chorus x2)

Reprise: Chorus x3
