You Might

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Off to face the world again Past the bedroom mirror "Ignorance is bliss", they say Couldn't be much clearer Imagining what might have been Thinking it could still be All the lost years in-between Still a sucker for a dream [Chorus] You might be an oil tycoon You might be a Cobb cartoon You might be a Gershwin tune You might be, but you're not! You might be an eagle's call You might be a nation's fall You might be the Albert Hall You might be, but you're not! [Verse 2] Play the fool and act the clown Impress your friends and neighbours Not so good when you come down With nothing for your labours You could've been a movie star You could've been a hero You could have won a bridge too far The best you get is no cigar [Chorus] You might be an eagle's call You might be a nation's fall You might be the Albert Hall You might be, but you're not! [Bridge] You are what you are! You are what you are! [Chorus] You might be an oil tycoon You might be a Cobb cartoon You might be a Gershwin tune You might be, but you're not! You might be an eagle's call You might be a nations fall You might be the Albert Hall You might be, but you're not! No, no You might be an eagle's call You might be a nation's fall You might be the Albert Hall You might be, but you're not!
