Another Year

So your plane was late
You missed that date
And your horse can’t win
So you drink another bottle of gin
And your shares went down
They touched the ground
And your best laid plans
Have slipped right out of your hands
So you think you’re fat
Well that’s a fact
But your well ran dry
So you had to walk another mile
Think about them, think about them
Think about those who’ll never see another year
Think about them
Think about those who never saw
So your car won’t start
Needs a special part
But you made your choice
Now you’re stuck with all your big boys toys
Now the word’s around
You’ve gone aground
And you’ve lost your wind
You’ll never see your ship come in
Think about them, think about them
Think about those who’ll never see another year
Think about them
Think about those who’ll never see another year
Mother’s, father’s
Sister’s, brother’s
Old man, young man
Whale song, all gone
Where did we go wrong
Think about those who’ll never see another
Those who’ll never see another
Those who’ll never see
Think about them, think about them
