Half Hearted Get (Is Second Best) - Beautiful South
I've only got one real fan
She is not woman she is not man
She's got her own coat of arms
and her tartan and her own clan
Her clan surpasses beauty
always love and never duty
A beauty that feels so alien
to this land

These feelings should be
censored they should be banned
But when you put a pornstar
in these hands
I'm the 6 month old with the
keys to his own pram
You got this straight
to play the fool
Miss out nursery miss out school
And gave the bullet train option
to this old abandoned tram

How do you make so special
look like dross
How do you make expensive
look budget cost
If it's power to the workers
then you are the boss
You make bluebells look like moss
Gave a second coat to gloss
And made Lennon's little Ono
look like dross
prostitution was not illegal
you'd make cheap sex look so legal
Make the hottest little joint in
town look like frost

The famous they get stalkers
they get pests
But I'd rather get a bullet
right through my chest
All that Lennon could imagine
was not you was just a fraction
and all half hearted get is
second best

The famous they get stalkers
they get pests
But I'd rather get a bullet
right through my chest
All that Lennon could imagine
was not you was just a fraction
and all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best

all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
all half hearted get is
second best
