lyrics

I am not your gallow dancer
I won’t be hanging around
In my head you’ve got me walking the plank
Prefer my feet firmly on the ground
The tick tock of the dreaded clock
Man I feel like caption hook
You shook your head, tutted then said
More like the boy who wouldn’t grow up

But I can’t please everyone
I’m being pulled in a million directions
And I’m just about holding on

You came in all guns blazing
And took a pot shot
But was I searching for the holy grail
Or competing for the cup
You said that everything’s a joke to me
And that enough is enough
Well you shouldn’t take yourself so seriously
Tough crowd, well lighten up

But I can’t please everyone
I’m being pulled in a million directions
And I’m just about holding on

Try as I might
I haven’t got the strength to bring myself to fight
I don’t know what I’ll do, if there’s no room
In the last chance saloon

One day I’ll make my great escape
And leave no mans lands behind
It always feels as if I’m in the wrong place,
at the wrong time… am I wrong?

But I can’t please everyone
I’m being pulled in a million directions
And I’m just about holding on
