Once upon a time I said
'Name it I will bring it!'
Now you know I turn my head
On those barren bearings.

I didn't stand a chance (chance) (to give it)
I couldn't even try (try - try) (to give it)
You wouldn't mind my lying (lying) (to you)
You didn't stand a chance (chance) (tome).

Now our love don't blow no stroke
Once, you knew, it died down.
Pavement crashed up where it broke
Name me poor old Blasty.

Still, you know, I'm living here
Seeing all around me.
If I cry, they'll still be there
Could I go? All I know:
         I wouldn't stand a chance (chance) (to give it)
        I couldn't even try (try - try) (to give it)
        You wouldn't mind my lying (lying) (to you)
        You didn't stand a chance (chance) (tome).

Once upon a time I said
`Name it I will bring it!'
Now you know I turn my head
On those barren bearings.
