One Foot in the Grave

I don't wanna hear you whisper

I don't wanna hear you moan

I don't wanna listen to you talking on the telephone

Always talking on the telephone

Nothing's ever how it should be

Nothing's ever good enough

I'm tired of hearing all the reasons

Why you really had it tough

You really really had it tough

It's the morning after the night before

And your paranoia's scratching at the door

You can justify it

But you're the b***h and you're the slave

With one foot in the grave

Could've been a ral contender could've been a movie star

Everybody used to tell you

You're beautiful and you'll go far

So beautiful and you'll go far

But time cam be a cruel leveller

Time will kick your heart around

I don't understand

Why you wanna help it put you in the ground

Gonna help it put you in the ground

After just a while the thrill wears thin

So the next thing you know

You're racking them out gain

So don't come around here if it's sympathy you crave

With one foot in the grave

I don't wanna hear you whisper

I don't wanna hear you moan

I don't wanna listen to you talking on the telephone

Nothing's ever how it should be

Nothing's ever good enough

I'm tired of hearing all the reasons

Why you really had it tough

You really really had it tough

Cos now they talk about you like you're long gone

Your reputation's sinking like a stone

So what you gonna do about it

Are you big enough to change

The way that you behave

There's an awful lot at stake

With one foot in the grave

One foot in the grave

One foot in the grave

One foot in the grave
