Third Time Lucky Lyrics

first one, it's a shock
a second helping, not good enough
third time lucky,and you've arrived !
if you have any doubts then try once more ...
maybe i was too impressed ...
he flattered, I was blushing
he found my 'joie de vivre' so cute and rather touching
himself so upwardly mobile, so cerebral, clever
could I ever live up to his dreams
or would i like to play a part in his scheme ?
I don't think so ...

I have my plans and brave ambition
knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
so next time i'll get closer.
first one, it's a shock
a second helping, not good enough
third time lucky, and you've arrived !
if you have any doubts then try one more time
later I met a boy whose inner life was his true passion
we did connect in an exploratory fashion
he claimed what tie us to this mortal coil we should sever
could I ever live up to his dreams
or would i like to play a part in his scheme ?
oh I fear not ...

I have my plans and brave ambition
knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd I'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
so next time I might get it right.
