Lasted longer, well that's enough 
Promises honoured, acting tough 
Lasted longer, well that's enough 

It's easy to feel strong about something 
Of which no-one else knows a single thing 
Who would remember a down turned mouth? 

We start with next to nothing, why? 
Just like we all had lost them, why? 
When I die I'm leaving nothing, why? 
We start with next to nothing, why? 

I won't put myself out on show 
And I won't dance round no maypole 
No more chance than a cat in hell 

We start with next to nothing, why? 
Just like we all had lost them, why? 
When I die I'm leaving nothing, why? 
We start with next to nothing, why?
