Seconds Lyrics
Seconds by Pulp
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 somuch to look this rough / They go to town / they like to shop around / and look at allthose things / All those things they never wnated anyway / She hates his hair / thatstupid 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 / butstill it feels like morning / The first time leaves its trace / and then slides intosecond place / and still it feels like morning / At night they try to fly / hold on tightand close their eyes / and they hit the ground in the morning / But in the morning it'sraining / Oh Christ you're always complaining / can't you think of something else / It'snearly-nu / a bargain basement made for two / and if you blur your eyes / you could beanywhere / you want yourself to be / Oh yeah, it's bad / I know you want to laugh, solaugh / But sometimes second best / Is all that you can get / Oh yeah / oh somebody toldme / the seconds turn to hours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels likemorning / The first time leaves its trace / and then slides into second place / and stillit 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 atall / You're golden boy fell down / Don't you know / he hasn't got a personality? / And Iknow / he said he'd last all night then gave you seconds / yeah / The seconds turn tohours / and the hours turn into days / but still it feels like morning / The first timeleaves 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 inthe morning / My God they're still alive / they got it wrong but they still tried / andthey made it through to the morning.
wrong but they still tried / and they made it through to the morning.
