Lyrics

1. So you- think- you're invincible,
And every-one over thirty, is over the hill;
But the passing of time, will wipe the smirk off your face,
You're not yet even at the start of the race.

2. You'll see knowledge is not wisdom;
You've still so much to learn;
And the lesson you're missing -
You can't spend what you don't earn.

3. You may end up rich, or you may end up poor,
It's the luck of the draw, and a touch of Murphy's law,
All you can do, is go out and do your best-
Just try to get it right, and front up to every test;
Sometimes it's boom, and sometimes it's bust,
But in the end, it all turns to dust.

4. Understand that a woman is different to you;
And remember the bottle is waiting on the shelf-
Maybe they'll deceive you, or maybe they'll be true
Or maybe you'll just end up deceiving yourself.

5. Ah, to be in love, that heady witches' brew
That blinds us to reason, and the lessons we once knew
So you've found your prince charming,
The fairytale's come true;
But the odds are he'll be harming,
and abusing you.

You may end up rich, or you may end up poor,
It's the luck of the draw, and a touch of Murphy's law,
all you can do, is go out and do your best-
Just try to get it right, and front up to every test;
when it comes to love, there's no-one you can trust,
and in the end, it all turns to dust.

6. And then you fall in love again,
But you can't make 'em love you back;
The story of life's catch- twenty-two;
So you try to make it work,
Damned if you do; damned if you don't,
And you give up to start the quest anew.

7. You may end up rich, or you may end up poor,
It's the luck of the draw, and a touch of Murphy's law,
all you can do, is go out and do your best-
Just try to get it right, and front up to every test;
It really doesn't matter, if it's love or if it's lust;
For in the end it all turns to dust.

8. And all the people you have known,
part of your life--or just on loan
paint the story of the places you have been;
like random cards picked from a pack;
they shade your life from red to black,
and every other colour in between.

9. You may end up rich, or you may end up poor,
It's the luck of the draw, and a touch of Murphy's law,
all you can do, is go out and do your best-
Just try to get it right, and front up to every test;
the words on-the silver dollar, tell us who to trust,
but in the end- it all turns to dust.
Yes, the silver dollar, tells us who to trust,
but in the end, it all turns to dust.
