Lyrics
Remember the pub where our fathers went
To spend the end of the day?
Remember the yard behind the pub
Where we'd run and play?
Yeah, well, now the pub is a laundromat
Now, the yard is a high-rise flat
You can't go back
You can't make it last
You've gotta take what you've got
Even when your life is in knots
You take aim, take your shot
Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
You've got to take what you've got
You'd always say that one of these days
You'd get out of Northampton town
You'd always say that you wouldn't stay
No, you wouldn't stick around
Never knew what I wanted before
Now I'm even more unsure
You can't move on if you're still in the past
You've gotta take what you've got
Even when your life is in knots
You take aim, take your shot
Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
You've got to take what you've got
Everybody's telling me what I need to be
Change with the times, move to London town
Or live out a legacy
Well, maybe this time, I take a chance
Leap into the vast expanse
Maybe this time, I seize my destiny
My destiny!
If you're on the wrong road, turn back
So, you'll help me out?
Thank you, Harry
Two, three!
You've gotta take what you've got
Even when your life is in knots
You take aim, take your shot
Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
You've got to take what you've got (You've got to take what you've got)
