No Chance (Regret) - Lou Reed

作词：Lou Reed

Must be nice to be steady it must be nice to be firm

It must be nice never to move off off the mark

It must be nice to be dependable

and never let anyone down

It must be great to be all the things you're not

It must be great to be all the things that I'm not

I see you in the hospital your humor is intact

I'm embarrassed by the strength I seem to lack

If I was in your shoes so strange that I'm not

I'd fold up in a minute and a half

I'd fold up in a minute and a half

And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

No I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

It must be nice to be normal it must be nice to be cold

It must be nice not to have to go oh up or down

But me I'm all emotional no matter how I try

You're gone and I'm still here alive

You're gone and I'm still here alive

And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

No I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

There are things we say we wish we knew

and in fact we never do

But I'd wish I'd known that you were going to die

Then I wouldn't feel so stupid

such a fool that I didn't call

And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

No there's no logic to this who's picked to stay or go

If you think too hard it only makes you mad

But your optimism made me think

you really had it beat

So I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

No I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
