This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start moving like you're running outta time
The realisation coming over your mind

And it should be a Canter
If you can just find the answer
You know it should be a Canter
If you were less of a wanker
Mare than half of the time

This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start grafting cos you're running outta time
The roof is on fire and it's raining outside

But it should be a Canter
If you can just find the answer
You know it should be a Canter
If you're just a wee bit less of a wanker
Mare than half of the time

Because the hardest part of the game
Isnae even playing the game
It's caring enough to care about the things that you're daein'
Oh it's a wee crying shame

Here comes the rain
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start grafting cos you're running outta time
The roof is on fire and it's raining outside

But it should be a Canter
If you can just find the answer
You know it should be a Canter
If you're just a wee bit less of a wanker
Mare than half of the time

They tell you it's no easy
They tell you that it's hard
They tell you it's impossible to mend a broken heart
The lead role in a tragedy pretending that it's art
And it's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to start

I could write a stanza and put you's in a song
Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong
Flashbacks to the only place I felt like I belong
You'll never be a king if you're acting like a pawn

Because the hardest part of the game
Isnae even playing the game
It's caring enough to care about playing the game
Oh it's a wee crying shame
Here comes the rain
