lyrics

And I really thought we'd made it
I thought that we had won the game
We're on the pitch & we think it's over
Now it's looking just the same
And as the day degenerates
And every tired muscle aches
You cross your heart & you hope to die
You close your eyes & you wonder why
Baby says as baby does she does
And baby knows the things that baby was
And baby wants it all & baby knows
And baby loves the world where baby goes
And she's a bright & shining star
And God knows what she thinks you are
Your mind is bending from the strain
Your thoughts are twisting round again
And as your life degenerates
And every burning muscle aches
You cross the road & you hope to die
You curse your luck & you wonder why
I want to be a shining star
And I know what I think you are
Falling over from the strain
My head is twisting 'round again
