Del Amitri Life By Mistake
So you were right when you said I was just a fake You just got used and when you're used you're thrown away Look at me now, look at the lines upon my face And look at my crowd, haven't we all lived like it's a race
And there are times I sense the trails of pain I leave When over the road there hangs those springtime lynching trees Just look around, everyone's acting the same way In a playground town where we can all live like it's a race Where we can all live for we can take But haven't we all lived life by mistake
And haven't we all chased time Like a paper cup down the street and up the stairs And haven't we all found the door is shut And the keys are everywhere In this life by mistake
And there are moments when the heavens open wide When you can hold your dreams and see your future bright Look at me now, haven't I tried to do what's right The way I know how, I have acquired my life like a taste And I have tried to live the right way But I have lived my life by mistake
