Arabian Derby

I never feard the rain

Until you turned to me

and said you'd failed again

It makes a perfect day so lame

And leads us halfway

to nowhere

And so the players

have changed

Soon we'll memorise the names

But somehow something's

never quite the same

Still we'll stake a claim,

you can count us in again

And everyone's a winner baby

Hedge your bets,

get set and maybe

We could be the first

to cross the line

Get up, get set, get ready

get high, get low, get even

'Cos we're living

in inimitable style

Chasing the ultimate prize

You'd make a fine millionaire

It's only natural to celebrate

But someone's got to

be there to pay

And we never get there

So take some time on our own

We burn enough alone

Close but still not fully grown

Pulling marrow from a bone

But there's no turning back,

so count us in again

And everyone's a winner baby

Hedge your bets,

get set and maybe

We could be the first

to cross the line

Everyone's a winner baby

Everyone's a winner baby

Going back to the old house

the Marigolds just go to show

that some of us should

never have left home

But see I'm still counting

Another flash in the pan

A cheap and instant forming tan

it seems to grown on me

Taking inches from a mile (No change there)

But I'm all for throwing

it on the line

'Cos everyone's a winner baby

Hedge your bets,

get set and maybe

We could be the first

to cross the line

Get up, get set, get ready

get high, get low, get even

'Cos we're living

in inimitable style

Chasing the ultimate prize

Oh everyone's a winner baby (baby)

Oh Everyone's a winner baby (baby)

Everyone's a winner baby (baby)
