Spectacular Fall

Written by Sid Griffin

Didya hear the one about the lawyer and the doctor?

They were planning to make a house call

All alone they were plotting out against me

Nearly had my back to the wall

Time and time were working out against me

I really had a close call

'Til you threw love and hoppe in my direction

Nearly had a spectacular fall

Spectacular fall

If a rich man's wealthy 'cause he counts his heroes

And numbers them all his friends

Is a poor man docked a notch for the time

He didnt' get the numbers to spend?

I've seen the world from the floor of my bedroom

With the covers pulled over my head

Many's the time I'd have made you mine

If only at the time I'd said

Time and time were working out against me

I really had a close call

'Til you threw love and hope in my direction

Nearly had a spectacular fall

If a carpenter came to build glass houses

Would you hand out stones?

Knowing full well there ain't a chance in hell

Of me ascending any thrones

I've seen the world staring back in my mirror

The daylights scared out of me

You threw love anda rope in my direction

Nearly had a spectacular fall

Spectacular fall!

Spectacular!

Spectacular fall!
