She, she used to live near his brother. Now she’s on unmarried mother with another on the way. He’s second rate, twisted out of shape. Oh God he looks a state. It costs so much to look so rough. They go to town, they like to shop around and look at all those things. All those things they never wanted anyway. She hates his hair, that stupid coat he wears but sometimes second best is the best that you can get. Oh yeah somebody told me; the seconds turn to hours and the hours turn into days but still it feels like the morning. The first time leaves its trace and then slides into second place and still it feels like the morning. At night they try to fly, hold on tight and close their eyes and then they hit the ground in the morning. Oh but in the morning it’s raining. Oh christ you’re always complaining, can’t you think of something else? It’s nearly - nu, a bargain basement made for two and if you blur your eyes you could be anywhere you want yourself to be. Oh yeah it’s bad, I know you want to laugh, so laugh. But sometimes second best is all your gonna get. Oh yeah, oh somebody told me; the seconds turn to hours, etc... But you’re so perfect you don’t interest me at all. Your golden boy fell down. Don’t you know he hasn’t got a personality and I know he said he’d last all nite then gave you seconds. The seconds turn to hours, etc...My god they’re still alive; they got it wrong but they still tried and they made it through to the morning.
