now and then i must admit i wonder if i had the chance to vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance how perfect every single day would be to never wait in driving rain for the bus that never came not to be the one to blame for anybody else s misery now and then i contemplate a different way around this day with nothing more than simple words so i can say i m quite content and happy being me walking tall with peace of mind to leave no childhood dreams behind arriving home to always find things just as i know they ought to be now and then i must admit i wonder if i had the chance to vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance how perfect every single day would be to never wait in driving rain for the bus that never came not to be the one to blame for anybody else s misery now and then i wake up when it hits me like a ton of bricks i realise it s me who has to take the licks no angels up there looking after me no rainbow with a pot of gold no cloak to shield me from the cold no pill to stop me growing old dreams fading into stark reality
