[00:13.38]She / she used to live with his brother
[00:18.59]Now she's an unmarried mother / with another / on the way
[00:25.41]He's seond rate / twisted out of shape
[00:31.83]and he looks a state, it costs so much to look this rough
[00:38.67]They go to town / they like to shop around / and look at all those things
[00:48.11]All those things they never wnated anyway / She hates his hair
[00:54.18]that stupid coat he wears / but sometimes second best
[01:00.30]is the best that you can get
[01:03.44]Oh yes / oh somebody told me / 'cos seconds turn to hours
[01:10.53]and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning
[01:20.33]The first time leaves its trace / and then slides into second place
[01:26.65]and still it feels like morning / At night they try to fly
[01:36.11]hold on tight and close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning
[01:46.98]But in the morning it's raining / Oh Christ you're always complaining
[01:54.11]can't you think of something else / It's nearly-nu
[01:59.67]a bargain basement made for two / and if you blur your eyes
[02:05.39]you could be anywhere / you want yourself to be
[02:10.30]Oh yeah, it's bad / I know you want to laugh, so laugh
[02:15.90]But sometimes second best / Is all that you can get
[02:21.51]Oh yeah / oh somebody told me / the seconds turn to hours
[02:28.50]and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning
[02:38.34]The first time leaves its trace / and then slides into second place
[02:44.71]and still it feels like morning / At night they try to fly
[02:54.16]hold on tight and close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning
[03:05.54]But you're so perfect you don't interest me at all
[03:10.91]You're golden boy fell down / Don't you know / he hasn't got a personality?
[03:17.83]And I know / he said he'd last all night then gave you seconds / yeah
[03:23.90]The seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days
[03:30.21]but still it feels like morning / The first time leaves its trace
[03:39.42]and then slides into second place / and still it feels like morning
[03:49.53]At night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes
[03:55.85]and they hit the ground in the morning / My God they're still alive
[04:05.10]they got it wrong but they still tried / and they made it through to the morning
