Just Can't Win - Jimmy Nail

作曲：Jimmy Nail

You wake up in a different bed

Forgotten every word you said

Do you recognise the person next to you

You're sneeking down the backroom stairs

Braving all ihe public stares

What's a living legend supposed to do

I've been told that you're looking old

But you're still appearing well preserved to me

Let them stare let them lose their hair

'Cos you've seen the movie read the book

You've been there done that set that look for free

You keep trying but you just can't win

You keep breathlng but the air's too thin

Keep knocking but you can't come in

Keep trying but you just can't win

Looking at your works of art

Banging your peroxide heart

You get them in a lucky bag for free

You said you couldn't live without it

So what you gonna do about it

Nostalgia's not the game it used to be

And I've been told about your bands of gold

But I have to say they cut no ice with me

Silver chains that dangle down

And you're tryin' hard to beat the clock

Dressed up shouting long live rock & roll

You keep trying but you just can't win

You keep breathing but the air's too thin

Keep knocking but you can't come in

Keep trying but you just can't win

You keep trying but you just can't win

You keep breathing but the air's too thin

Keep knocking but you can't come in

Keep trying but you just can't win

You keep trying but you just can't win

You keep breathing but the air's too thin

Keep knocking but you can't come in

Keep trying but you just can't win

You keep trying but you just can't win

You keep breathing but the air's too thin

Keep knocking but you can't come in

Keep trying but you just can't win

Keep trying Keep trying now
