Taking On The World Lyrics - Lion's Share

When i think of the times 

that i wished that i could have 

been you 

was i really frightened 

never turned a hair, playing the 

field like a king 

you were a diamond in a coalmine 

were you just living out that song 

and whose fault thaat you got it all wrong 

so falls the sungod as you were 

Taking on the world 

somehow the world just knocked 

you over 

taking on the world 

we thought you were flying you 

were really 

dying... goodbye 

It's so hard to go up to a friend 

when defences are down 

wheen he is a rival 

were you just too proud 

to show us what we couldn't see 

only survival and a lifeline 

you could have used a helping hand 

you could havegiven me one chance to listen 

so falls the sungod as you were 

Do you know you're grown up 

when you know you know nothing at all 

starting out from zero 

when you've watched your friend 

falling apart from inside 

you saw a hero not a falling angel 

if looks could kill you'd kill on sight 

when all the time you were 

freezing in sunlight 

so falls the sungod as you were
