Finney's Tale |
Finney was a fighter |
He had both feet on the ground |
He was a regular guy just like you and me |
But Finney’s change of fortune |
Waited just around the corner |
He was just about to meet his destiny |
Well, they picked him off the streets |
And put him straight into the light |
Said we’re gonna name |
The series after you |
We’re gonna show them |
How a loser turned into a winner |
Go on Finney, show ‘em what you can do |
Well it all went as planned |
He was an overnight success |
And yar after year |
Was filled with promis |
He had all that he required |
But it wasn’t all his heart desired |
And he sometimes found it hard |
Just being honest |
Fame is fortune’s prison |
It’s so easy getting in |
But it’s a different story |
Trying to change direction |
So Finney turned to drinking |
And he started his downhill slide |
Just another lost to add to life’s collection |
And of course they all put Finney down |
Said he’d lost all his ambition |
But to me he was a giant among men |
For out of all his heartache |
And his see-through reputation |
Finney just wanted to be Finney again |
La la la … |
