lyrics

If some is bad, nothing's good
Were cards on which your virtues stood
Success and all the glory that it brings
I didn't mean to wet your wings
Holding up on being true
Forgot all I had thought of you
Now that fashion's gold and cash is king
I didn't mean to wet your wings
It might make you want to shout
To know that life was all about
The things that you can come into for free
I didn't mean to wet your wings
You may fly to distant shores
Be a hit and world adored
But last year you were just the same as me
I didn't mean to wet your wings.
If I'd be prepared to slave
I might could earn a decent wage
And maybe get to see her when she's in town.
No time to hang around.
