time ain't gonna wait for even you my friend
I can't stay late I'm looking at the end
ace high hypnotised & sucked into that scene
taking on a 'guise - it wasn't really me
hard years later & we're still hanging on
for The St Jackpot score that's never gonna come
not running away now
been running all day
but it's falling apart now
it's been coming all day
oh I have been your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - accepted gracefully
and all the heat that you deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break
cooking fires on the beach - smoke finger in the sky
y'know that's where I should be my baby by my side
good times from the start - remember yeh? - but now
the Palace Gang's back to old things - tha's my cue - I'm gettin out in style
for I have been your laughing boy - your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - your laughing boy - accepted gracefully
And all the heat that you deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break
not running away now
been running all day
but it’s falling apart now
it's been coming all day
oh I have been your laughing boy - your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - your laughing boy - accepted gracefully
and all the heat that you deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break
for I have been your loving boy - your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - your laughing boy - accepted gracefully
take all the heat you can deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break
