Take What You Got

Remember the pub where our fathers went
To spend the end of the day?

Remember the yard behind the pub
Where we would run and play?

Yeah, well, now the pub is a laundromat
Now, the yard is a high-rise flat.

You can't go back
You can't make it last.

You've gotta take what you've got
Even when your life is in knots
You take aim, take your shot
Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
You've got to take what you've got.

You'd always say that one of these days
You'd get out of Northampton town.

You'd always that you wouldn't stay
No, you wouldn't stick around.

Never knew what I wanted before
Now I'm even more unsure.

You can't move on if you're still in the past.

You've gotta take what you've got
Even when your life is in knots
You take aim, take your shot
Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
You've got to take what you've got.

Everybodys telling me what I need to be
Change with the times, move to London town
Or live out a legacy
Well, maybe this time, Ill take a chance
Leap into the vast expanse
Maybe this time, Ill seize my destiny
My destinyyyyyyyy!...yyyyyyyyyeh.

If youre on the wrong road, turn back
So, youll help me out?
Thank you, Harry
Two, three!

You've gotta take what you've got
Even when your life is in knots
You take aim, take your shot
Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
You've got to take what you've got.
