Pulp – Seconds lyrics

She
she used to live with his brother
Now she's an unmarried mother
with another /on the way
He's seond rate
twisted out of shape
and he looks a state, it costs somuch to look this rough
They go to town
they like to shop around
and look at allthose things
All those things they never wnated anyway
She hates his hair
thatstupid coat he wears
but sometimes second best
is the best that you can get
Oh yes /oh somebody told me
'cos seconds turn to hours
and the hours turn into days
butstill it feels like morning
The first time leaves its trace
and then slides intosecond place
and still it feels like morning
At night they try to fly
hold on tightand close their eyes
and they hit the ground in the morning
But in the morning it'sraining
Oh Christ you're always complaining
can't you think of something else
It'snearly-nu
a bargain basement made for two
and if you blur your eyes
you could beanywhere
you want yourself to be
Oh yeah, it's bad
I know you want to laugh, solaugh
But sometimes second best
Is all that you can get
Oh yeah
oh somebody toldme
the seconds turn to hours
and the hours turn into days
but still it feels likemorning
The first time leaves its trace
and then slides into second place
and stillit feels like morning
At night they try to fly
hold on tight and close their eyes /and they hit the ground in the morning
But you're so perfect you don't interest me atall
You're golden boy fell down
Don't you know
he hasn't got a personality?

And Iknow
he said he'd last all night then gave you seconds
yeah
The seconds turn tohours
and the hours turn into days
but still it feels like morning
The first timeleaves its trace
and then slides into second place
and still it feels like morning /At night they try to fly
hold on tight and close their eyes
and they hit the ground inthe morning
My God they're still alive
they got it wrong but they still tried
andthey made it through to the morning.wrong but they still tried
and they made it through to the morning.
