4 Minute Mile |
I’ll never run a four minute mile |
And that’s okay most of the time |
Never played for Barcelona |
Or sail around the world alone |
I’ll never be the man on the wire |
The time has come to face it and say |
That I will never play the Dane |
No blowtorch of ambition |
It was never part of my mission |
And we will never see this day again |
But that’s okay |
Yeah, that’s okay most of the time |
I’ll never make a sun-powered car |
Or build sandcastles on Mars |
Get good at secrecy and stealth |
Or redistribute the wealth |
No routine on those parallel bars |
I’ll never have a salad at McDonald’s |
Or heed the call to monitise the arts |
All those letters to Jim’llfixit lay somewhere in a basket |
And the other guy got to play with Adam And The Ants |
But that’s okay |
Yeah, that’s okay most of the time |
(That's okay) |
I’m like Hernandez, he ran away |
He wants to see better days |
He says this bullfight it’s not for me |
I’m still in play I got family |
(Yeah, that’s okay) |
Hernandez, he ran away |
He wants to see better days |
(Most of the time) |
He says, «This bullfight, it’s not for me» |
I gotta half-life, I gotta half-life, I gotta half-life |
Yeah, that’s okay most of the time |
That thing’s okay most of the time |
Oh, that’s okay most of the time |
I’ll never draw anything but stick-men |
And they will never have any clothes |
Be together in the mornings |
Come upstairs to see your etchings |
I’ll never suck a golf-ball through a hose |
Yeah, I’ll never run a four minute mile |
And that’s okay most of the time |
Never launch my own fragrance |
Or be proper famous |
I may even wear my trousers rolled |
But that’s okay |
Yeah, that’s okay most of the time |
(That's okay) |
I’m like Hernandez, he ran away |
He wants to see better days |
(Most of the time) |
He says this bullfight it’s not for me |
I’m still in play I got family |
(Yeah, that’s okay) |
Hernandez, he ran away |
He wants to see better days |
(Most of the time) |
He says, «This bullfight, it’s not for me» |
He’s not ashamed of it, he’s not ashamed of it |
(Most of the time) |
He’s not ashamed of it, he’s not ashamed of it |
He’s not ashamed of it |
Most of the time, most of the time |
Most of the time, most of the time |
