Better Than This - Cock Sparrer

I used to think that the time would come

When I’d sit on a beach, soaking up the sun

I used to yearn for the lottery win

And the riches tomorrow might bring

I sat around and wished my life away

But now I know it’s all a show

And the end’s the same any way you go

So I won’t cry for good times I’ve missed

Cos it don’t get better than this

Time keeps slipping through our hands

Wasted dreams, forgotten plans

The sun comes up on another day

As the search goes on for a better way

Running around, looking for a place to die

But now I know it’s all a show

And the end’s the same any way you go

So I won’t cry for good times I’ve missed

Cos it don’t get better than this

Promises are hollow when they’re waiting for tomorrow

Your dreams go floating past, in the bottom of a glass

I sat around and wished my life away

But now I know it’s all a show

And the end’s the same any way you go

So I won’t cry for good times I’ve missed

Cos it don’t get better than this
