Everybody Sometimes

With the affable patience of the ruling class

To one of their own who was compromised

Regrettably it takes some time to atone

A decent period until it's exorcised

Your place will always be with us here in the warm water

Immerse yourself and it will all fade away

This time you may have come up short

But there'll always be another day

The place is awash with claim and counter claim

You've done your bit and kept your head

With time this will all just be a memory soon

And you won't be held to account for what you've said

Your place will always be with us here in the warm water

Immerse yourself and it will all drift away

This time you may have come up short

But there'll always be another day (always be another)

Always be another day

Everybody sometimes falls short of their aspirations

Everybody, sometimes

You know you've been had when you don't think twice, sometimes

Everybody, sometimes

Massage the figures, duck, dive and feint

Pursue the complainers, ignore the complaints

See more of your family, teach yourself to paint

Keep your head down for a while, that's what it takes

Your place will always be with us here in the warm water

Immerse yourself and it will all fade away

This time you may have come up short

But there'll always be another day

Always be another day (always be another day)

Always be another day

Always be another day
