Now that she's older

As the embers of romance fade to mortgages and leccy bills

Been comfortable and that

Nobody told her that she'd ever reach the stage

Where her husband bores or her or she lies about her age

He's compromising

At least he's got a job for life

Get born, get school, get job, get car

Pay tax and find a wife

And on that note the end can't come too soon

If you're not living on the edge you take up too much room

I could've been a contender

I could've been a someone

Caught up in the rat race

And feeling like a no one

Could've been me in the papers

With the money and the girls

I could've been the heavyweight champion of the world

At school he used to dream about being Bruce Lee

But the need for chops in the Manor Top

Ain't all that great you see

And so he gave up

On his black belt and first Dan

As near as he got to China

Was a week in Camber sands

I could've been a contender

I could've been a someone

Caught up in the rat race

And feeling like a no one

Could've been me in the papers

With the money and the girls

I could've been the heavyweight champion of the world

I could've been a contender

I could've been a someone

Caught up in the rat race

And feeling like a no one

Could've been me in the papers

With the money and the girls

I could've been the heavyweight champion of the world

It's boring, it's boring

It might put you to sleep

As the same old routine repeated week after week

And you work harder, work harder

You're told that you must

And you must earn a living

You must earn a crust

And be like everybody else

Be like everybody else

Just be like everybody else

Be like everybody else

Just be like everybody else

Be like everybody else

Just be like everybody else

Be like everybody else

Just be like everybody else

Be like everybody else

Just be like everybody else

Be like everybody else

Just be like everybody else

Be like everybody else

I'm not like everybody else

I could've been a contender

I could've been a someone

Caught up in the rat race

And feeling like a no one

Could've been me in the papers

With the money and the girls

I could've been the heavyweight champion of the world

I could've been a contender

I could've been a someone

Caught up in the rat race

And feeling like a no one

Could've been me in the papers

With the money and the girls

I could've been the heavyweight champion of the world
