《The Exception》歌词

[00:00:00] In a paparazzi photograph she was stepping from a car

[00:00:07] The tired eyes betrayed the smile of the faded singing star

[00:00:14] At the publishers reception on the launching of her book

[00:00:20] She told the grimy details and the toll the details took

[00:00:27] The tours applause awards of course

[00:00:30] But as the years went by

[00:00:33] Those fundamental things still applied

[00:00:40] Oh but she thought she'd be the exception

[00:00:42] Oh yes she thought she'd be the exception

[00:00:46] But don't we all think we're the exception

[00:00:49] Sometimes sometimes

[00:00:56] The workaholic millionaire and his pretty younger wife

[00:01:03] Had everything there was out there in the ad mans perfect life

[00:01:09] But she left him for the milkman and then moved into his flat

[00:01:16] Everyone said silly girl to do a thing like that

[00:01:22] The house the cars the credit cards but he didn't ask her why

[00:01:29] He knows that there's some things even cash can't buy

[00:01:36] Oh yes he thought he'd be the exception

[00:01:39] Oh yes he thought he'd be the exception

[00:01:42] But don't we all think we're the exception

[00:01:45] Sometimes sometimes

[00:01:53] If a handout to the hungry and the homeless

[00:01:59] Is a fiver in the fickle hand of fate

[00:02:05] Does it mean we'll be there on the guest list

[00:02:13] When we get to heaven's gate

[00:02:32] No pain no gain that's what they're saying and it's hard to disagree

[00:02:38] But I thought somehow they weren't including me

[00:02:45] Oh but I thought I'd be the exception

[00:02:48] Oh yes I thought I'd be the exception

[00:02:51] But don't we all think we're the exception

[00:02:55] Sometimes sometimes

[00:03:02] Sometimes sometimes

[00:03:08] Woo

[00:03:18] Sometimes sometimes woo
