Someone's Got It In For Me

James · Getting Away With It: Live [2002]

Someone's got it in for me

I don't want your sympathy

Life just never turned out how I wanted it to



Could have been a shooting star

Should have made it past the bar

Would have been a winner if I'd ever got that far



What a state I'm in

My self pitying

Here's another victim

Singing suffering



If only I had made the grade

Been more loved

Been less afraid

If only I had scored the goal

Got the girl

Or even played



What a state I'm in

My self pitying

Here's another victim

Singing suffering



Fall

Let it fall away

Then rise

To be born again

Then fall

Let it fall away

Then rise

To be born again



My life's turned to minor chords

Loser sad

And life's a bore

Can't see the point of living

In this fashion anymore



What a state I'm in

My self pitying

Here's another victim

Selling suffering



Fall

Let it fall away

Then rise

To be born again

Then fall

Let it fall away

Then rise

To be born again
