She She used to live with his brother Now she's an unmarried mother With another on the way He's second rate Twisted out of shape Oh God he looks a state It costs so much to look so rough They go to town They like to shop around And look at all those things Yeah, all those things they never wanted anyway She hates his hair That stupid coat he wears But sometimes second best Is the best that you can get Oh yeah Oh somebody told me That seconds turn to hours And the hours turn into days But still it feels like a morning The first time leaves its trace And then slides into second place And still it feels like a morning At night they try to fly Hold on tight and close their eyes And they hit the ground in a morning Oh In the morning it's raining. Oh Christ, you're always complaining, Can't you think of something else? It's nearly new 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 you're gonna get. Oh yeah Oh somebody told me That seconds turn to hours And the hours turn into days And still it feels like a morning. The first time leaves its trace And then slides into second place And still it feels like a morning. At night they try to fly, Hold on tight and close their eyes And they hit the ground a in 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? 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 morning. My God they're still alive They got it wrong but they still tried And they made it through to morning.
