Take What You Got

Remember the pub where our fathers went To spend the end of the day? Remember the yard behind the pub Where we'd run and play? Yeah, well, now the pub is a laundromat Now, the yard is a high-rise flat You can't go back You can't make it last You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got You'd always say that one of these days You'd get out of Northampton town You'd always say that you wouldn't stay No, you wouldn't stick around Never knew what I wanted before Now I'm even more unsure You can't move on if you're still in the past You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got Everybody's telling me what I need to be Change with the times, move to London town Or live out a legacy Well, maybe this time, I take a chance Leap into the vast expanse Maybe this time, I seize my destiny My destiny! If you're on the wrong road, turn back So, you'll help me out? Thank you, Harry Two, three! You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got (You've got to take what you've got)
