about

Influenced by Marc Bolan's T Rex which I was listening to a lot of at the time.

lyrics

I went in a winner, I came out a loser again
'Cause you know it's hard to tell these days
when you made a friend
When you meet a friend they could turn out to be
the worst you've ever had
It doesn't mean they're good or bad

'Cause in these days of lonely youth
You've got a heart full of lies in a million truths
But these days are coming to an end
my friend, oh yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I lost another woman, slipped out the door
with a new man
Left me sitting in the garbage can
You could say I'm getting used to it, baby
no-no-no
That aint the way it is for me
Gonna get me some wine and let it be
Oh let it be

'Cause life stings like a bullet
They'll put it straight in your head
It's gonna fly around and make you dead
If you don't watch yourself sucker
They'll take you for a ride
You're gonna be no more

Hey, hey, hey

Oh no more of my life's gonna drain into nuthin
Going out in a bang
In your armchair wars you're just gonna have to
rock it
'Cause I'm gonna take you down if I can
And if I don't I'm gonna roll out on the street
and play the blues about how a no-good
Street kid can make a buck for you

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna pay all my dues
on my blue suede shoes
I'm gonna choose to lose
Or break in two, oh yeah
