(This was written from a musical point of view, as if in a band, which I wasn’t at the time and hadn’t been since 1998. Strangely enough I joined a band in the following year).
CHORUS
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever.
VERSE 1
We’re on the road, we’re on a roll
Things are good, we’re in control
Riding high at this point in time
But realise in our minds…
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever.
VERSE 2
We like where we’re going and what we’ve got
Playing our music, staying on top
Avoiding the press, shaming our names
Fortune can be hindered by fame
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever.
CHORUS
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever.
BRIDGE
All is well, all is right
But will things change now in the spotlight?
So far, all is bright
But a downfall of rain may come in time
But things can last forever when you’re clever.
VERSE 1 (REPEAT)
We’re on the road, we’re on a roll
Things are good, we’re in control
Riding high at this point in time
But realise in our minds…
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever.
CHORUS
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever
Nothing lasts forever unless you’re clever…
Nothing lasts forever unless clever (or weird!)
