Текст песни Reverend & The Makers - Heavyweight Champion Of The World

Now that she's older 
And the embers of romance 
Fade to mortgages and leccy bills 
Being comfortable and that 
Nobody told her 
That she'd ever reach the stage 
Where her husband bored her 
Or she lied about her age 

He's compromising 
At least he's got a job for life 
Get born, get school, get job, get car 
Pay tax and find a wife 
And on that note 
The end can't come too soon 
If you're not living on the edge 
You take up too much room 

I could've been a contender 
I Could've been a someone 
Caught up in the rat race 
And feeling like a no-one 
They put me in the papers 
With the money and the girls 
I could've been 
The Heavyweight Champion of the World 

At school he used to dream about 
Being Bruce Lee 
But the need for chops in Manor Top 
Ain't all that great you see 
And so he gave up 
On his black belt and first Dan 
As near as he got to China 
Was a week in Camber sands 

I could've been a contender 
Could've been a someone 
Caught up in the rat race 
And feeling like a no-one 
Appearing in the papers 
With the money and the girls 
I could've been 
The Heavyweight Champion of the World 

I could've been a contender 
Could've been a someone 
Caught up in the rat race 
And feeling like a no-one 
Appearing in the papers 
With the money and the girls 
I could've been 
The Heavyweight Champion of the World

It might be boring it's boring 
It might put you to sleep 
The same old routine repeating week after week 
And you work harder, work harder 
Cos you're told that you must 
And you must earn a living 
And you must earn a crust 

And be like everybody else 
Just be like everybody else 
Just be like everybody else 
Be like everybody else 
Be like everybody else 
Just be like everybody else 
Just be like everybody else 
Just be like everybody else 

I could've been a contender 
Could've been a someone 
Caught up in the rat race 
And feeling like a no-one 
Appearing in the papers 
With the money and the girls 
I could've been 
The Heavyweight Champion of the World

I could've been a contender 
Could've been a someone 
Caught up in the rat race 
And feeling like a no-one 
Appearing in the papers 
With the money and the girls 
I could've been 
The Heavyweight Champion of the World
