Take What You Got

Intro Harry Remember the pub where our fathers went To spend the end of the day? Charlie Remember the yard behind the pub Where we would run and play? Harry Yeah well, now the pub is a laundromat Charlie Now, the yard is a high-rise flat Harry You can't go back You can't make it last You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got Charlie You'd always say that one of these days You'd get out of Northampton town Harry You'd always say that you wouldn't stay No, you wouldn't stick around Charlie Never knew what I wanted before Now I'm even more unsure Harry You can't move on if you're still in the past You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot You've got to take what you've got Charlie Everybody's telling me what I need to be Change with the times, move to London town Or live out a legacy Well, maybe this time, I'll take a chance Leap into the vast expanse Maybe this time, I'll seize my destiny My destiny!

You've gotta take what you've got Even when your life is in knots You take aim, take your shot Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot Charlie You've got to take what you've got Harry You've got to take what you got Closing Instrumental
