THREE TIME LOSER [2] (Joey Molland)
[from Say No More LP - recorded 1980 - released U.S. 1981]
[from Say No More CD - recorded 1980 - released U.S. 2000]

It's a terrible thing to lose
All the time you've had and never used
Sometimes you wanna hide
And sometimes you wanna light the fuse

And you know just where you stand
But it's hard to make a plan
When all that you do is wrong
And no one can find a song to play

Three time loser
White line user
Mr. Groover
Where's it end?

And there's nothing that you can say
You can make it most any day
And if you try very hard
You know you might find a yard or two

Three time loser
White line user
Mr. Groover
Where's it end?

[keyboard solo (Tony Kaye)]

Sometimes you wanna hide
Sometimes you wanna light the fuse

Three time loser
White line user
Three time loser
White line user (ultimate user)
Three time loser (big street cruiser)
White line user (go little Hoover)
Three time loser (Mr. Humor)
White line user (ooh, city slicker)
Three time loser (cherry picker)
White line user (Mr. "gives a damn")
Three time loser (you're a married man)
White line user (money money money money money money money...)

It's a terrible thing to lose
All the time you've had and never used
Sometimes you wanna hide
Sometimes you wanna light the fuse

And you know just where you stand

And no one can find a song to play

Where's it end?

And there's nothing that you can say
You can make it most any day
And if you try very hard
You know you might find a yard or two
