Set Me Up Lyrics - Level 42

Well a thing was said to me 

time's your enemy 

it may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar 

and the only thing to do 

is to yourself be true 

'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars 

When I was young I never walked away 

I'd nail my colours to the wall 

though black and white soon turned to shades of grey 

there is one thing that I really know for sure

Nobody's gonna set me up 

nobody's gonna set me up 

There's a bitterness in you 

'cause all you ever do 

is to drag your spirit screaming to the floor 

but you gotta make your luck 

before your time is up 

and they take you in your box out through the door 

But I'm not saying I don't care at all 

I'd rescue you before you drown 

but if behind my back they start to talk 

I'm a tougher kind of man this time around 

Nobody's gonna set me up 

nobody's gonna set me up 

When you look back and see what you have done 

well was it really that much fun 

to laugh and kick the fallen ones 

Gonna grow another skin 

this one's getting thin 

I've been bitten twice but never lost my nerve 

well you gotta hide the hurt 

when people dish the dirt 

'cause if you don't try nothing that's what you deserve 

There are people with their eyes of green 

smiling when you take a fall 

maybe a friend or someone never seen 

but even with my back against the wall 

Nobody's gonna set me up 

nobody's gonna set me up 

People said to me 

time's your enemy 

it may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar 

Nobody's gonna set me up 

nobody's gonna set me up 

And the only thing to do 

is to yourself be true 

'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars
