All the years of trying
All the interviews
To get your views across
But they always got lost
You always nearly made it
Your records never sold as many
As your record company
hoped they would
And you never made
No, you never made
You never made
Never made the Top 30
But you did sell some records
Sold them to the ones who wanted them
Treasured them and kept them with their other souvenirs
Never to be sold
All the years of trying
All the interviews
To get your views across
But they always got lost
You always nearly made it
Your records never sold
As many
As you hoped they would
Now you've made that one
That elusive one
You're a failure
But now you are a suck-cess
After all the years of trying
All the interviews
To get your views across
But they always got lost
You always nearly made it
Your records never sold as many
As your record company
hoped they would
And you never made
No, you never made
You never made
Never made the Top 30
But you did sell some records
Sold them to the ones who wanted them
Treasured them and kept them with their other souvenirs
Never to be sold
All the years of trying
All the interviews
To get your views across
But they always got lost
You always nearly made it
Your records never sold
As many
As you hoped they would
Now you've made that one
That elusive one
You're a failure
But now you are a suck-cess
