What a Waste - song lyrics

I could be the driver in an articulated lorry
I could be a poet, I wouldn't need to worry
I could be the teacher in a classroom full of scholars
I could be the sergeant in a squadron full of wallahs
What a waste! What a waste!
What a waste! What a waste!
Because I tried to play the fool in a six-piece band
First-night nerves every one-night stand
I should be glad to be so inclined
What a waste! What a waste! But the world don't mind
I could be a lawyer with stratagems and muses
I could be a doctor with poultices and bruises
I could be a writer with a growing reputation
I could be the ticket-man at Fulham Broadway station
What a waste! What a waste!
What a waste! What a waste!
Because I tried to play the fool in a six-piece band
First-night nerves every one-night stand
I should be glad to be so inclined
What a waste! What a waste! But the world don't mind
I could be the catalyst that sparks the revolution
I could be an inmate in a long-term institution
I could lead to wide extremes, I could do or die
I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch them gullify
What a waste! What a waste!
What a waste! What a waste!
Because I tried to play the fool in a six-piece band
First-night nerves every one-night stand
I should be glad to be so inclined
What a waste! What a waste! But the world don't mind
Chose to play the fool in a six-piece band
First-night nerves every one-night stand
I should be glad to be so inclined
What a waste! What a waste! But the world don't mind
What a waste! What a waste! But the world don't mind
Chose to play the fool in a six-piece band
First-night nerves every one-night stand
I should be glad to be so inclined
What a waste! What a waste! But the world don't mind

Hey, gimme hollow stimulation, It's so sleazy to be free. Let's invest in dull creation, Thrill city, cheap legacy. What a waste, you're so chaste. I can't wait to taste your face. Vapid signals lead me to you, A sublime spectacular dud. Safe and sound from chatter confusion. Get the picture, yes, it's clear as mud. What a waste, you're so chaste. I can't wait to taste your face. Hey, gimme hollow stimulation, It's so sleazy to be free. Let's invest in dull creation, Thrill city, cheap legacy. What a waste, you're so chaste. I can't wait to taste your face. I wouldn't lead you on ever since your song, yeah. You could have had it all, but you didn't call me.

I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again No, I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again I almost thought I didn't have it in me I would take your mistakes on my shoulders And then, I blamed myself I was weak Got so blinded by time, turned your wrongs into rights, but Ain't gonna spend another day, no With people saying that it's my fault Just called you up to say goodbye 'Cause I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again No, I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again (ah-ah) I know it's nothing new, but we're all gonna die And letting go of you makes me feel like I'm so alive I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again I bet you never thought I'd dare to Cut the cord and just leave, thought I was too naive To live my life without you Got so blinded by time, turned your wrongs into rights, but Ain't gonna spend another minute of my day, no Cope with other people saying that it's my fault Just called you up to say goodbye 'Cause I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again (ah-ah) No, I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again (ah-ah) I know it's nothing new, but we're all gonna die And letting go of you makes me feel like I'm so alive I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again No tear, oh no Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (hey) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (hey) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'm not gonna waste a tear Waste a tear, no Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (hey) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again I'm not gonna waste my tears Won't waste a tear again

Sometimes it feels like love's a waste All of this time we spent, trying to make amends Of all this damage that we've made How do we savour it? Is there a way? Down this broken road I need you to know I might make mistakes I might change my ways But I'll never let go I'll never let go We might fight sometimes I might lose my mind But I'll never let go I'll never let go Maybe I'm not what you deserve Trying to be enough, but don't wanna lose too much Go on and tell me how it hurts I wanna fix this, is there a way? Down this broken road I need you to know I might make mistakes I might change my ways But I'll never let go I'll never let go We might fight sometimes I might lose my mind But I'll never let go I'll never let go See, I let you be part of my whole truth Even with all this shit that we go through And yet, still you're the one I come home to, I come home to When we said we both hated each other But without one another, we suffer There's no doubt in my mind, there's no other, no other but you I might make mistakes I might change my ways But I'll never let go I'll never let go We might fight sometimes I might lose my mind But I'll never let go I'll never let go

She's early for no reason And she's dancing at angles Yet another slim man's Taking chances with another girl She could be in her marigolds Dancing on her patio She's leaving it up In another dreary disco time Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Isabel's sleeping, isabel's sleeping I think my mate slept with you When you were in portugal Isabel's sleeping, isabel's sleeping I think my mate slept with you When you were in portugal Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah She'd broken all her promises And find another place to sleep He's a little boy that never thought About the consequence She's like a letter bomb Waiting for another man Sitting on a fence On another dreary disco time Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Isabel's sleeping, isabel's sleeping I think my mate slept with you When you were in portugal Isabel's sleeping, isabel's sleeping I think my mate slept with you When you were in portugal Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

I said something about growing young Shopping for drinks in the afternoon Hotels in town kisses in the lawn We can share some private thoughts But she whispered But she whispered Burn my letters and ditch my friends Fasten my love with alluring chains But she whispered But she whispered Somewhere sunlight shines all night Faces of the people hanging for life Eye balls bulge with fear and love I stick my tongue into her mouth But she whispered But she whispered I said something about growing young Shopping for drinks in the afternoon But she whispered But she whispered But she whispered But she whispered So you think you run away away To somewhere I don't know don't know So you think you run away away To somewhere I don't know don't know
