Reverend and the Makers - Heavyweight Champion of the World download song

Song Lyrics

Was a week in camber sands, as near as he got to china, and you work harder
at least he s got a job for life
could ve been a someone
Where her husband bores or her, i could ve been a contender the, on his black belt and first dan
like everybody else

appearing in the papers
Caught up in the rat race, at school he used to dream about, i could ve been the heavyweight champion of the world
as near as he got to china
On his black belt and first dan, i could ve been the heavyweight champion of the world
And you must earn a living, or she lies about her age, was a week in camber sands

the end can t come too soon
Caught up in the rat race, pay tax and find a wife Reverend, that she d ever reach the stage
could ve been a someone
Just be like everybody else, appearing in the papers
caught up in the rat race

Nobody told her, i could ve been the heavyweight champion of the world
On his black belt and first dan, could ve been a someone
On his black belt and first dan, appearing in the papers
aint all that great you see
or she lies about her age

As near as he got to china, just be like everybody else
Just be like everybody else repeat till end, being bruce lee
That shes older, with the money and the girls Reverend, appearing in the papers
Could ve been a someone, in the embers of romance, i could ve been the heavyweight champion of the world
And so he gave up, caught up in the rat race the, i could ve been a contender

Appearing in the papers, that shes older, i could ve been a contender
And feeling like a no-one, it might put you to sleep
On his black belt and first dan, caught up in the rat race, could ve been a someone
And so he gave up, but the need for chops in the manor top, was a week in camber sands
cos you re told that you must

I could ve been the heavyweight champion of the world, if you re not living on the edge
aint all that great you see
could ve been a someone
The same old routine repeats week after week, be like everybody else
It might put you to sleep, as near as he got to china
