Just Can't Win Lyrics - Crocodile Shoes Ii - Jimmy Nail

Words and music by jimmy nail 

You wake up in a dlfferent bed 

Forgotten every word you said 

Do you recognise the person next to you ? 

You're sneeking down the backroom stairs 

Braving all ihe public stares 

What's a living legend supposed to do ? 

I've been told that you're looking old 

But you're still appearing well preserved to me 

Let them stare, let them lose their hair 

'cos you've seen the movie, read the book 

You've been there, done that, set that look for free 

You keep trying but you just can't win 

You keep breathlng but the air's too thin 

Keep knocking but you can't come in 

Keep trying but you just can't win 

Looking at your works of art 

Banging your peroxide heart 

You get them in a lucky bag for free 

You said you couldn't live without it 

So what you gonna do about it ? 

Nostalgia's not the game it used to be 

And I've been told about your bands of gold 

But I have to say they cut no ice with me 

Silver chains that dangle down 

And you're tryin' hard to beat the clock 

Dressed up shouting long live rock & roll 

You keep trying but you just can't win 

You keop breathing but the air's too thin 

Keep knocking but you can't come in 

Keep trying but you just can't win
