Heavyweight Champion(Of The World)(Complete version originally performed by Reverend And The Markers) - Various Artists (欧美群星)
Now that she's older
As the embers of romance
Fade to mortgages and leccy bills
Being comfortable and that
Nobody told her
That she'd ever reach the stage
Where her husband bored or her
Or she lied 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 repeating week after week
And you work hard I 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
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
