Itsalwayssomething — текст песни (Rick Springfield)

I look around me and I see what I wanted and what I settled for
Yeah, I`ve got the heart of a Joan of Arc but the soul of a gigolo
I`ve been good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Anytime I stopped to smell the roses they drew blood from me
Do you know what I mean
You never ever get away clean
Oh, but it`s alright
Yeah, touchdown, turn around, flag on the play

It`s Always Something
You know it is, It`s Always Something
It`s Always Something, everyday, It`s Always Something

When I was a kid the teachers and the priests said,
"Why you let him run around like that?"
My father said, "If the boy wants to play the guitar, I say we let him."
Through the hard years he was my rock
When I just could not win
So it goes y`know my father died
Just before my leaky ship came in
Do you know what I mean
You never ever get away clean
Oh, but it`s alright yeah
Down one, homerun, your dog steals the ball

It`s Always Something
You know it is, It`s Always Something
It`s Always Something, everyday, It`s Always Something
It`s Always Something...

I step up to the table in the middle of my life
And I take my cards and I check them twice
I`ve got a killer hand and I`m ready to stake my claim
The cops raid the game

It`s Always Something
It`s Always Something
It`s Always Something, everyday, It`s Always Something

It`s Always Something
You know it is, It`s Always Something
It`s Always Something, everyday, It`s Always Something
