  • Jimmy came down from the northwest, Said there's a couple of things
    I want to get off my chest, Like eat some food you're looking like a ghost
    And how come you always hurt, The ones that you love most
    I've pulled myself together, It tore us apart

    I've been on the M1 for most of the night
    You're born and then you live, then you die
    You get one try and I've tried everything
    A cannon's loose you were telling the truth

    And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
    And Jimmy said words I hadn't heard before
    Like licentiousness and what about getting a job
    But the blood in your body as you're coming down

    It stings like the cold wind, That blows round your friends
    You're born and then you live, then you die
    You get one try and I've tried everything
    A cannon's loose you were telling the truth

    And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
    Like a moon soaked summer night, On a rainy Westbourne Park day
    We're together we're apart, Hell I'm crazy I'm wrong and you're right
    You're born and then you live, then you die

    You get one try and I've tried everything
    A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
    And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
    You're born and then you live, then you die

    You get one try and I've tried everything
    A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
    And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
    Just try everything just try everything Writer/s: GUY BATSON, JONATHAN MALE, SAFFRON AKA SAMANTHA SPRACKLING, TIMOTHY MICHAEL DORNEY
