It's a shame
the rules change not the game
Such a shame, It's the same
Now everything is in vain
All in vain, it's such a shame
Could it be true
that there's nothing left to do
For me and you, can't be true
We all can't be such fools
Could life be so cruel
Could life be so cruel
Maybe, I don't even try
fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a
number on the line
Could you please tell me why
We're on the same line
and we're fallin'
behind on life
<Interlude>
Life is great, I'm walking in
the sun and everything is cool
Yeah it's true
there's so much we can do
It feels so right
Yeah, it's all right
Maybe, I don't even try
fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me why
Baby, I don't even wanna
try fearing what I'd find
Guess I am a number on the line
Could you please tell me
why we're on the same line and
Fallin' behind
Fallin' behind on life
<Interlude>
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars

So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him

And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
