Winning

it's not like me to lose
I'm a natural winner
in ev'ry game
I know
how it's played
I know how it's done
you'll never have me
on the run
I mastered ev'ry trick
leavin' me the kick
of beatin' you
at ev'ry bit

I have
a ferocious appetite
it never is enough
I'l go into the depths
of my thoughts
spend all my resources
to win that last resort
a natural winner I am
something I will always be
it's a feelin' in me

a loser doesn't win
a loser has nothing
a loser only plays
and loses again

losing is a trade
losing is a skill
losing is a thrill
losing is a craft
learning ev'ry game
memorising ev'ry word

not for me
I am a natural winner
a thing anybody can see
winning is a habit to me

Taking the rest

close the book with  tenderness
with your thoughts dwelling on what
was read

take from it the sadness, laughter,  madness
brightness, take the flavour, the feelings take
all the best

'cause I'm taking te rest

(c) JR. 1985

Winning

It's not like me to lose
I'm a natural winner
in ev'ry game I know
now its done
you'll never have me
on the run

mastered ev'ry trick
leaving me the kick
of beating you
at ev'ry bit

I have a ferocious appetite
It never is enough
I'll go into the depths
of my thoughts

spend all my resources
to win that last resort
a natural winner I am
something I'll always be

it's a feeling in me
a loser doesn't win
a loser only plays
and loses again

losing is a trade
losing is a skill
losing is a thrill
losing is a craft

learning ev'ry game
memorising ev'ry word
always last is not for me
I'm a natural winner
winning comes easy to me
