Lyrics
I really wasn't right,
Not quite cut out for the part
Too dark, too highly-strung
An unsung coward at heart
In spite of myself
I landed this role
And I worked hard
To learn these lines
Sometimes I screw up
I'm sure you'll agree
Perhaps the story
Isn't all it ought to be
Out on location
In cloud-cuckoo land
In a B movie picture
Should've been panned
The opening scene is shot
Outside a hospital gate
In grainy black and white
Without a horse or parade
Cut to the flowers
The chocolates and cards
Which you can read
Between these lines
Was there a full moon
And a change of shift?
Why does it always
Have to end up like this?
A maternity wing
In the big baby boom
A terminal wing and a prayer
By the now late afternoon
Sometimes I screw up
I'm sure you'll agree
Perhaps the story
Isn't all it ought to be
Out on location
In cloud-cuckoo land
In a B movie picture
Should've been panned
