Proper Job/Back to Front

David Sinclair

Late in the night, early in the morning, always telling me I'm wrong
Always something I've forgotten - can't they see I'm rocking on?

Music is my life, I need it more and more
But every time I write a song, it's been heard before
Fighting for my first break, I just can't work it out
It's enough to make your heart break - what's it all about?

Suddenly I'm rich and famous, gonna be a megastar
Suddenly we're on the telly, as overnight sensations are

Mother, she's so proud, she found a colour set
But all the neighbours down our street can't forget
Now I've got my first break, she still can't work it out
It's enough to make your heart break - what's it all about?

Took it all, the smiling faces, lost it all with open hands
Watched it sliding through my fingers, fame and fortune now it's gone

But music's still my life, I need it more and more
There'll always be someone who's heard it all before
Back to front existence blinkers on your eyes
Won't need no assistance, there'll be no more surprise...
