[00:00:02] Songs Title：it could have been a brilliant career

[00:00:04] He had a stroke at the age of 24

[00:00:06] It could have been a brilliant career

[00:00:07] Painting lines in a school that was too well known

[00:00:16] Painting lines with a friend that had gone before

[00:00:22] She challenged everyone to a fight

[00:00:25] But the people all backed down

[00:00:28] And they ran her out of town

[00:00:32] Cause she drank and swore and spoke

[00:00:35] Out of turn she was the village joke

[00:00:44] She had a stroke at the age of 24

[00:00:48] It could have been a brilliant career

[00:00:51] Getting clients to finance her strategies

[00:00:58] Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday

[00:01:04] She wears the clothes of an emperor

[00:01:07] But her paintings are a sham

[00:01:11] And they're going for a grand

[00:01:14] When the dealers come to view

[00:01:18] Do they ever see the real you

[00:01:34] He had a stroke at the age of 24

[00:01:37] It could have been a brilliant career

[00:01:41] Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes

[00:01:48] Pulling the wool playing the fool it's no wonder that

[00:01:55] He is dribbling spit tonight

[00:01:58] And the one he sent away

[00:02:01] Was the only one who stayed

[00:02:05] With a spoon and a decent book

[00:02:08] And you can tell by the way she looks she is sorry and resigned

[00:02:15] As he wets himself for the final time
