JOIN THE QUEUE

Another bad attack of good memories
Wouldn't life be cool if you could make time freeze?
You were the One To Watch and great things'll happen
But all those dreams turned to crap an'
You're in a limbo where the plain fact is
We forgot you were the tape-breasting Billy Whizz
And here you are now, the non-runner Never Was
Why didn't you reach your potential, kid? "Well, because - "

Rigsby impressions no longer impress
Your punchlines require an archaeologist's guess
No-one here's heard of Will Hay, Hylda Baker or Rudolf Hess

THERE'S NOTHING - NOTHING YOU CAN SAY
THERE'S NOTHING - NOTHING YOU CAN DO
JOIN THE QUEUE

You were the nutter at school, the total crease
Bullies would be breathless, begging you to cease
Making love to a fresh-planted sapling
Had the Drama beak squeak, 'It's worthy of Chaplin'
Blank pages, bare stages, day dream ambitions
Days became decades of wasted wishing
Non-achievement, no bereavement, slate wiped clean
You didn't have it in you to be a has-been

Could've been a pop star 'cept you're fat and can't sing
Bad breath, tone deaf, can't pluck a string
And that one song you wrote was painfully self-pitying

THERE'S NOTHING - NOTHING YOU CAN SAY
THERE'S NOTHING - NOTHING YOU CAN DO
JOIN THE QUEUE

At the school reunion do for The Class Of Whenever
All the creeps you mocked turned out awfully clever
Kaye's Senior Editor of Channel 4 News
Sue's a style guru; Tim's big in orthopaedic shoes
Murray made a mint; that fat cat knew when to pounce
Jez takes a call concerning offshore accounts
One by one they turn on you with smiles sadistic:
'How droll! You're on the dole? Is one a statistic?'

It's not that everyone was better than you
It's just they were hungrier and they knew what to chew
Whilst you were climbing walls they were climbing ladders, paying dues

THERE'S NOTHING - NOTHING YOU CAN SAY
THERE'S NOTHING - NOTHING YOU CAN DO
JOIN THE QUEUE

Composed by Paul Hamilton & Dave Pope.
