It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career Song Lyrics
It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career by Bellamy Brothers He had a stroke at the age of 24It could have been a brilliant careerPainting lines in a school that was too well knownPainting lines with a friend that had gone beforeShe challenged everyone to a fightBut the prefects all backed downAnd they ran her out of townCause she drank and swore and spokeOut of turn, she was the village jokeShe had a stroke at the age of 24It could have been a brilliant careerGetting clients to finance her strategiesFilling time in on safeways on saturdayShe wears the clothes of an emperorBut her paintings are a shamAnd they’re going for a grandWhen the dealers come to viewDo they ever see the real you? He had a stroke at the age of 24It could have been a brilliant careerSelling lies to the boys with the old dansettesPulling the wool, playing the fool, it’s no wonder thatHe is dribbling spit tonightAnd the one he sent awayWas the only one who stayedWith a spoon and a decent bookAnd you can tell by the way she looks he is sorry and resignedAs he wets himself for the final time
