Now that she's older As the embers of romance Rise to morgages and 'lecky bills Being comfortable and that Nobody told her That she'd ever reach the stage Where her husband bored her Or she lied about her age He's compromising At least he's got a job for life Get born, get school, get job, get car Pay tax and find a wife And on that note The end can't come too soon If you're not living on the edge You take up too much room I could've been a contender I Could've been a someone Caught up in the rat race And feeling like a no-one They put me in the papers With the money and the girls I could've been The Heavyweight Champion of the World At school he used to dream about Being Bruce Lee But the need for chops on a Manor Top Ain't all that great you see And so he gave up On his black belt and first Dan As near as he got to China Was a week in Camber sands I could've been a contender Could've been a someone Caught up in the rat race And feeling like a no-one *They put me* in the papers With the money and the girls I could've been The Heavyweight Champion of the World It might be boring it's boring It might put you to sleep The same old routine repeating week after week And you work harder, work harder Cos you're told that you must And you must earn a living And you must earn a crust And be like everybody else be like everybody else be like everybody else Be like everybody else Be like everybody else Just be like everybody else Just be like everybody else Just be like everybody else I could've been a contender Could've been a someone Caught up in the rat race And feeling like a no-one Appearing in the papers With the money and the girls I could've been The Heavyweight Champion of the World I could've been a contender Could've been a someone Caught up in the rat race And feeling like a no-one Appearing in the papers With the money and the girls I could've been The Heavyweight Champion of the World Thanks to Amanda for these lyrics Thanks to Jo Cutler for these lyrics
