The first song Matt ever dreamt! Then together with Alan Wilkins spent a couple of weeks filling it out. Also when in dire need of a female vocalist he grabbed the nearest girlfriend to hand, and she duly recorded the chorus. Well done Nikki!
lyrics
Its always been the same, its a funny old game
pushing to, pulling through, Dunno where i'm going to
If its black or if its white, if its dark or if its light
In the middle on the side, on the left on the right
How the hell do you know, If it's right or a sin
will it snow will it rain, will I ever love again
Should I knock should i ring, should i shout, should I sing
Should I work Should I play, Should I go Should I Stay
[Chorus]
If I never look back, I'll never lose track, of where I'm going to
If I ever give up, I'll lose the all the luck, that I am ever due.
In the cold light of day, When you gamble it away
Toss a coin, pick a card, either way its just as hard
Keep the money, blow the lot, how d'you measure what you've got
Do you tan do you burn, At the bow or at the stern
sort it out leave a mess, keep a secret or confess
try it once stay in line, add a lemon or a lime
Have it neat or dilute it, use it real or substitute it
Go to work have a break, eat a burger or a steak
[Chorus]
If I never look back, I'll never lose track, of where I'm going to
If I ever give up, I'll lose the all the luck, that I am ever due.
