Take What You Got

My life were nothing more than shoes

You find me swinging by my tie from a steam pipe

But my guitar, my mates, and music are my escape

It ain't perfect, but it's what I got

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?

Well, the places we loved came down with a blast

High-rise flats goes up so fast

You can't go back, you can't make it last

You've gotta take what you got

Even when your life is in knots

You take aim, take your shot

Sometimes you gotta rewrite the plot

You gotta take what you got

You'd always say that one of these days

You'd get out of North Hampton 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

Listen, you've gotta take what you got

Even when your life is in knots

You take aim, take your shot

Sometimes you gotta rewrite the plot

You've gotta take what you 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'll 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 got (Take what you got)

Even when your life is in knots

You take aim, take your shot

Sometimes you gotta rewrite the plot

(You gotta take what you got) You gotta take what you got

Do something sweet for a thirsty man

The price I sent you will last a man a lifetime
