All the years of trying All the interviews To get your views across But they always got Lost. You always nearly made it Your records never sold as many As your record company hoped they Would. And you never made No, you never made No, you never made Never made the Top Thirty But you did sell some records Sold 'em to the ones who wanted them Treasured them and kept them with Their other souvenirs Never to be sold. All the years of trying All the interviews To get your views across But they always got Lost. You always nearly made it Your records never sold as many As you hoped they Would. Now you've made that one That elusive one You're a failure But now you are a suck-cess Now you are a suck-cess After all the years of trying.
