Nearly Once

Nearly once did I pull David Beckham Instead, he went and copped off with your mate Nearly once did I defeat temptation Step on scales, achieve my target weight Nearly once did I become real famous Nearly signing autographs on the street Did the photo sessions, recorded all the songs Then label dropped us from 800 feet And that's the reason why we hate "nearly" As we long for day when someone loves us dearly We went so close, yes, we did really We were this far away from love sincerely Nearly, we were actually the reason Footballer and popstar would perform All they really wanted was cuddle and a hug And an XXL like me to keep me warm Nearly did I get myself run over When Kevin Keegan clearly blew a kiss Nearly did we get beat up by bouncers When Elton John we caused his train to miss And that's the reason why we hate "nearly" As we long for day when someone loves us dearly We went so close, yes, we did really We were this far away from love sincerely If I could sell as many cakes as I eat in this shop If only, occasionally, I was able to say stop If only men saw more of me than groove or crooked mop Then clearly, I could cause some knee to drop In truth, we sang along to every record In truth, we went and cheered on every team Program signed by substitute, ticket stub from gate Was the nearest that we got to livin' dream And that's the reason why we hate "nearly" As we long for day when someone loves us dearly We went so close, yes, we did really We were this far away from love sincerely
