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 so much to look
this rough
They go to town / they like to shop around / and
look at all those things
All those things they never wnated anyway / She
hates his hair
that stupid 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 / but still it feels
like morning
The first time leaves 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 in the morning
But in the morning it's raining / Oh Christ
you're always complaining
can't you think of something else / It's
nearly-nu
a bargain basement made for two / and if you blur
your eyes
you could be anywhere / you want yourself to be
Oh yeah, it's bad / I know you want to laugh, so
laugh
But sometimes second best / Is all that you can
get
Oh yeah / oh somebody told me / the seconds turn
to hours
and the hours turn into days / but still it feels
like morning
The first time leaves 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 in the morning
But you're so perfect you don't interest me at
all
You're golden boy fell down / Don't you know / he
hasn't got a personality?
And I know / he said he'd last all night then
gave you seconds / yeah
The seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn
into days
but still it feels like morning / The first time
leaves 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 in the morning / My God
they're still alive
they got it wrong but they still tried / and they
made it through to the morning.
