Wilko Wilkes - One Chance Now (Album Version)

Every day
In every way I try to thrive
I'm living it up and I'm giving it all going into overdrive
Remembering all the memories never fails to pleasure me
I'm as good as I'll ever be now that I've arrived
Another world, where every single minute
I was dreaming about all the time that had passed instead of living in it
The sands of time are slipping
The hands on the clock are ticking
Everything seems to be clicking
I'm thinking it's good to be alive
A million reminders of the roads that I've crossed
And how sticking my head in the sand is something that I bossed
But now I'm kicking the karma instead of counting the cost
Enjoying what I've gained instead of remembering what I've lost
I know I started slow but now you're getting the best of me
Time to grow my eyes are open I'm pursuing my destiny
I'm going it alone and bringing everyone next to me and
Whatever it is on the horizon you can let it be left to me cos
I'm feeling taller than the statue of liberty when I'm dazzling the masses with all my lyrical wizardry
Unravelling the mysteries of this slippery industry
Making a mockery of the misery that tried to belittle me
I'm growing like herpes never doubting my ability
Unlike Hermes taking care in my delivery
I'm chilling and winning a million while you're blowing your fuse
Cos when there's no such thing as failure you've got nothing to lose
So what are you gonna do now you've got nothing on your plate
Are you gonna open up your heart or keep on harbouring hate
Are you gonna make the right choices and put a hat on your health
Or let the brain freeze win and put a cap in yourself
Are you gonna give yourself a chance to be the one you always wanted to be
The one you wanted to see
Many years ago when you body and mind were smaller
But your heart was bigger
And a blue Smartie was all it took to be bouncing like Tigger
It took time
To undo the stupid things I thought I knew
Chiselling the layers of silicone sealed superglue
Getting to the bottom of problems I didn't know that I had
Dropping all the weight on the habits I didn't know that were bad
I would've snapped both your hands off for this and twisted your arms
I've got no qualms
I'm making a record with Kvarmez
Look deep inside and do what you need to do
I'll see you on the other side and I'll be rooting for you it's all good
It's going how it's supposed to
Your body's always with you but your spirit can ghost you
Keep your feet on ground and keep your head in the clouds
You'll see that somewhere in the middle you'll be making the most of the opportunities
And lunacy that are heading your way.
In the game of life there's no such thing as playing it safe
Whatever happens next you'll still be able to breathe
You've got this one chance now, so go out believe
