Songs About / On: SUCCESS

(Narrator)
Pharaoh, he was
A powerful man
With the ancient world
In the palm of his hand
To all intents and purposes he
Was Egypt with a capital E
Whatever he did
He was showered with praise
If he cracked a joke
Then you chortled for days
No one had rights or a
Vote but the king
In fact you might say
He was fairly right-wing read more »

Ohh yeah
Mmmm
Yeah, oh yeah, oh oh
Oh yeah

I was alone just because
I wasn't like them
They made me, excluded so cruel, and
Then there was you
You stood by me, ignored their words
You became, my best friend so true, oh yeah

You believed in me
When no one else did
You gave me the strength to
Move on, my friend
You will always be
The one I remember
To give my thanks to
For my success

They just did not understand
What I was going through
My situation, they didn't care, no
You tried to take a stand for me
When I just could not
Take it any longer

You believed in me
When no one else did
You gave me the strength to
Move on, my friend
You will always be
The one I remember
To give my thanks to
For my success

I ohh, as I look back
I can see how childish they were
And you ohh, you showed me that
We were so much more than they were
I hope they can see their mistakes now
And not do it to another
But if they don't, I hope that person
Finds someone like you

Ohh...
You believed in me
When no one else did
Yeah ohh, no, ohh yeah, oh

You will always be
The one I remember
Will always be the one I remember, oh no
For my success
For my, for my success, ohh

You believed in me
When no one else did, ohh yeah
Ohh, the strength to move on, yeah
The one I remember, oh
With all my heart, yeah read more »

Shattered, shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still surviving on the street
Look at me, I’m in tatters!
I’m a shattered

So overwhelmed by all the trouble that you face
Steadily searchin' wanting to find peace in this place
Oh so certain that you will come to a beter day
And you're believing that it'll come by your own way
You have forgotten everything that you once said
How you would never let success get to your head
Now you'll do anything to make it on your own
But nothing you do changes the fact that you are still so alone, but if you

Revenge, smarter than the radio,
Better than the gossips taken from your mouth.
Revenge, looking for some better shit.
Looking for a thumb tack for your back. read more »
