The Divine Comedy - I'll Take What I Can Get Lyrics

The Divine Comedy Lyrics

"I'll Take What I Can Get"

One day I'll be a better person
One day I'll lead a better life
One day I'll quit my fecking cursing
One day I'll take some exercise
One day I'll go to all the parties
One day I'll know just what to say
One day I'll be frightfully arty
One day I'll parler en français

'Till then I'll put off all decisions
'Till then I'll hedge off all my bets
'Till then I'll work with what I'm given
'Till then I'll take what I can get

I'll take what I can get

One day I'll marshal my resources
One day I'll write my symphony
One day I'll fight for noble causes
One day I'll finish Ulysses
One day I'll stand for public office
One day I'll have my finest hour
I'll say "Put people before profit"
And they will sweep me into power

'Till then I'll watch some television
'Till then I'll struggle out of bed
'Till then I'll work with what I'm given
'Till then I'll take what I can get

I'll take what I can get
Yeah
I'll take what I can get

One day the pearly gates will beckon
One day St. Pete will shake his head
He'll say "It's purgatory, I reckon"
Oh well

I'll take what I can get
I'll take what I can get

'Till then I'll dodge the undertaker
'Till then I'll send him my regrets
'Till then I'll plough life's little acre
'Till then
'Till then, yeah
