Just Can't Win - Lee Fields

One more coffee One more cigarette One more morning trying to forget. If I had the chance To join your dance I wouldn't like to bet, Your game is something yet It's a shame, Ain't natural for you, Baby, it's a sin, You know you just can't win When you are in. You used to ride on buses Take a tube to camden town. Now you go by aeroplane Don't let nothing bring you down. It's a shame, Ain't natural for you, Baby, it's a sin, Don't you know you just can't win When you are in. Now the road is dark and lonely, But you got a pearl light mode. You're up in park lane now And I'm somewhere around In tottenham court road. It's a shame, Ain't natural for you, Baby, it's a sin, Don't you know you just can't win When you are in. No, you just can't win, No, you just can't win When you are in.

Just when the sunshines the brightest And the world looks alright, again Then the clouds fill the sky's You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just cant win. My love never meant much to you dear Or yo you I was always a friend Oh, why did I call, You have no heart at all Sometimes you just cant win. --- Instrumental --- I can't live like this any longer Not knowing just where I stand I know I should't care But sweetheart it don't seem fair Sometimes you just cant win And then when the sunshines the brightest And the world looks alright, again The clouds fill the sky's You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just can't win...

All clear, good Lord Did well to be ignored Your falling temperature like cooling kisses All through your head A made up water's edge A summer gone on tabling fabled blisses And I'd love to see you waving From the far side of the swim Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted Where colour field meets canvas And the picture breathes you in Where all the stories meant for you have already started Bright girl, dead town Walking tall but blown around The secret chainmail gown of your father's blessing Bright girl, dead town Open mouths for miles around I still see you keeping those dough boys guessing And I'd love to see you waving From the far side of the swim Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted Where colour field meets canvas And the picture breathes you in Where all the stories meant for you have already started Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Open mouths for miles around Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Open mouths for miles around Bright girl, dead town
