Grand Finale

The Grand Finale

A song to be sung by an ageing, fading star (or a detested uncle at a karaoke wedding) in place of My Way and other self-congratulatory bollocks.

 

A             All of my life

B             I’ve been a useless shit

A             Everything I tried

B             I made a mess of it

 

C             I’ve crossed the line

C2           So many times

C3           And crossed it back again

D             But no-one told

D2           And no-one sold,

D3           Whoever felt the pain

 

A             All of my life

B             I’ve been a total jerk

A             I’ve stolen and I’ve lied

B             And sleepwalked through my work

 

C             So many lives

C2           I could have lived

C3           And not looked back with shame

D             So many hearts

D2           I tore apart

D3           But never won the game

 

A             All of my life

B             I’ve been a useless prat

A             Just ask my ex-

B             If she agrees with that

 

C             I had my share

C2           Of drinking wine

C3           I loved it more than you

D             I didn’t care

D2           If you were there

D3           Or who else I could screw

 

A             All of my life

B             I’ve been a total turd

A             Pretentious and obnoxious

B             Abusive and absurd

 

C             I broke the bank

C2           And drank the tank

C3           It wasn’t even funny

D             I lost the key

D2           To who was me

D3           And spent the children’s money

 

A             All of my life

B             I’ve been a total loser

A             I bottled it and ran away

B             A beggar, not a chooser

 

C             So now I’m done

C2           And can’t go on

C3           I still dream that one day

D             I’ll win the game

D2           But all the same

D3           I should be made to pay

Rep.         I should be made to pay (to end)
