Canter

This is the beginning of the rest of your life

You better start movin' like you're running out of time

The realisation coming over your mind

That it should be a canter

If you could just find the answer

You know it could be a canter

If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker

Mare' than half ae' the time

This is the beginning of the rest of your life

You better start graftin' 'cause you're running out of time

The roof is on fire and it's raining outside

But it should be a canter

If you could just find the answer

You know it could be a canter

If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker

Mare' than half ae' the time

Because the hardest part of the game

Isn't even playing the game

It's caring enough to care about the things that you're daein'

Oh, it's a wee crying shame

Here comes the rain

This is the beginning of the rest of your life

You better start graftin' 'cause you're running out of time

The roof is on fire and it's raining outside

But it should be a canter

If you could just find the answer

You know it could be a canter

If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker

Mare' than half ae' the time

They tell you it's no easy

They tell you that it's hard

They tell you it's impossible to mend a broken heart

The lead role in a tragedy pretending that it's art

It's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to start

I could write a stanza and put you in a song

Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong

Flashbacks to the only place I've felt like I belong

You'll never be a king when you're acting like a pawn

Because the hardest part of the game

Isn't even playing the game

It's caring enough to care about playin' the game

Oh, it's a wee crying shame

Here comes the rain
