1. WINNING THE GAME

So many people are gonna try to fool you
Get to thinking that your the biggest thing in town,
They run around make a fuss and trying to please you,
Build you up so they can bring you down.

[Chorus]
You've given all you've got now, you can't afford to stop now
You've everything to lose, when you're winning the game.
They messing you around, they trying and do you down
They push you to the ground, now you're winning the game.

They take your to place where the people are gonna know you,
Ask you questions you've answered time and time before,
They wanna feel what it's like to be in your shoes
To sail the sea but never have to leave the shore.

[Chorus]

When you're winning the game, they remember your name
They don't raise to a smile, when you talk out of style,
Can't you see it's true, there's just me and you
Stand to lose when you're winning the game.

[Chorus](x2)


2. NEVER MISS THE WATER

The doorknob needs mending, the letters need sending,
The kitchens a disgrace, grease all over the place.

I see your pretty picture, the one you gave me last eastern
Has a mostache drawn in green, where your lipsticks should have been.

[Chorus]
You've never think, of time till it passes you by
Never miss the water, till the well runs dry
You never count, the days till the nights grow cold
Never think you're aged, till you realise you're old.

The ashtrays are brimful, my secrets are sinful
And I drink a lot now, it's the only friend i've got now.

I'd write you a letter, there's a hole in my sweater
And I need to mend it, so I wouldn't have the time to send it.

[Chorus]

I could not live with you, but it's so hard without you
I'm a helpless case, a misfit social disgrace.

Maybe next century, i'll come to my senses
Work out the reason why, you never miss the water, till the well runs dry.

[Chorus]
