*** Washed Up And Left For Dead ***

It's common knowledge
There's always one exception
Not quite part of the crowd
He'll try so hard, just to laugh
In the right places
But he knows it's just not funny
He has this feeling, he just knows it
They don't like him ‘cos he's different
He knew all about the no - go areas
Still he went there all the same

He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was
Just not wanted
It got so cold after midnight
Oh yeah

Don't want the money
He just wants the fame
There's something driving him inside
His friends don't like him
Cos they think that he's so stupid
So he just goes out on his own
He saw a movie that night
And it moved him
It was just like his life story
But he got jumped by some thugs
On his way home
No - one came to his rescue

He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was
Just not wanted
It got so cold after midnight
Oh yeah

Night after night he's out
Biting the pavement
Hurt his hands clapping
For the group
He can't dance but he can
Certainly cause trouble
Yeah - Ah - ooh

He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was
Just not wanted
It got so cold after midnight
Oh yeah
