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 its 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 its 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 its 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.
