When You Want Something You Can't Have Lyrics - Singles - The Courteeners

So I hear you're rebuilding your life 

Down in Mexico Way 

To act out your favourite play 

With your cat and piano 

I always knew you could play 

I knew you better than your friends would suggest 

The ones that laid claim to being your best 

But that's always the way 

When you wan't something you can't have

You were my favourite one 

But I suppose that's fallen on deaf ears 

Because of the way that it was left 

It was in the hands of the Gods, the sods 

They're an unruly mob and on their CV 

They can now write down theft 

Some things they are not for the best 

And that's always the way 

When you want something 

That's always the way 

When you want something you can't have 

I never wanted this to happen this way 

When do we ever a little time called never 

Retrospect is such a cruel invention 

No cruel intentions not a single bad one

I never wanted this to happen this way 

When do we ever a little time called never 

Retrospect is such a cruel invention 

No cruel intentions, I want something I can't have 

That's always the way 

I wan't something I can't have...
