[00:02.40]Songs Title：it could have been a brilliant career
[00:04.39]He had a stroke at the age of 24
[00:06.58]It could have been a brilliant career
[00:07.83]Painting lines in a school that was too well known
[00:16.00]Painting lines with a friend that had gone before
[00:22.18]She challenged everyone to a fight
[00:25.36]But the people all backed down
[00:28.85]And they ran her out of town
[00:32.43]Cause she drank and swore and spoke
[00:35.98]Out of turn she was the village joke
[00:44.72]She had a stroke at the age of 24
[00:48.34]It could have been a brilliant career
[00:51.64]Getting clients to finance her strategies
[00:58.45]Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday
[01:04.69]She wears the clothes of an emperor
[01:07.56]But her paintings are a sham
[01:11.18]And they're going for a grand
[01:14.68]When the dealers come to view
[01:18.11]Do they ever see the real you?
[01:26.34]
[01:34.51]He had a stroke at the age of 24
[01:37.69]It could have been a brilliant career
[01:41.31]Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes
[01:48.80]Pulling the wool playing the fool it's no wonder that
[01:55.16]He is dribbling spit tonight
[01:58.16]And the one he sent away
[02:01.54]Was the only one who stayed
[02:05.16]With a spoon and a decent book
[02:08.47]And you can tell by the way she looks she is sorry and resigned
[02:15.71]As he wets himself for the final time
