Lyrics:

She / she used to live with his brother / now she's an unmarried mother / with another /
On the way / he's seond rate / twisted out of shape / and he looks a state, it costs so
Much to look this rough / they go to town / they like to shop around / and look at all
Those things / all those things they never wnated anyway / she hates his hair / that
Stupid coat he wears / but sometimes second best / is the best that you can get / oh yes /
Oh somebody told me / 'cos seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days / but
Still it feels like morning / the first time leaves it's trace / and then slides into
Second place / and still it feels like morning / at night they try to fly / hold on tight
And close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning / 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 that you can get / oh yeah / oh somebody told
Me / the seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like
Morning / the first time leaves it's trace / and then slides into second place / and still
It feels like morning / at night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes /
And they hit the ground in the morning / but you're so perfect you don't interest me at
All / you're golden boy fell down / don't you know / he hasn't got a personality? / and i
Know / he said he'd last all night then gave you seconds / yeah / the seconds turn to
Hours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning / the first time
Leaves it's trace / and then slides into second place / and still it feels like morning /
At night they try to fly / hold on tight and close their eyes / and they hit the ground in
The morning / my God they're still alive / they got it wrong but they still tried / and
They made it through to the morning.
