I've always been
the perfect man for fightin'
I've always been
the one who'd never lose
Get up'n'play
it used to be exciting
A chance to win
but there's no excuse
But now I feel I've spent
my life for nothing
No chances left
confusions like a rain
One step ahead won't help
I'm loosin' something
Another victory will
bring another pain
And I feel like a stranger
lost and found
In the heat of the danger
another time around
One by one
we're fallin'
on the burnin' ground
One by one
keep movin' round'n'round
One by one
just fallin' like shootin' stars
One by one
we'll just rust behind the bars
I'm on track
no matter how I'm movin'
From light to light
another dusty place
No one around
aware of what you're doin'
Forgotten hero
an unknown face
Straight through the heart
no pain, cos there's nothing
Back to the past
just injuries insight
No way to stop
watch out, cos' evil laughin'
No use screamin'
it's sinkin in the night
Take a look in the mirror
see if you're blind
Keep chasin' the hero
in another time
One by one
we're fallin'
on the burnin' ground
One by one
keep movin' round'n'round
One by one
just fallin' like shootin' stars
One by one
we'll just rust behind the bars
<Interlude>
One by one
we're fallin'
on the burnin' ground
One by one
keep movin' round'n'round
One by one
just fallin' like shootin' stars
One by one
we'll just rust behind the bars
One by one
we're fallin'
on the burnin' ground
One by one
keep movin' round'n'round
One by one
just fallin' like shootin' stars
One by one
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars

So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
