about
I had great fun arranging the BBC Concert Orchestra on this one. Oh the power!
lyrics
I could be married to a film star
If i hadn’t lied all those years ago
I could be working in a science lab
If id have know all i needed to know
I could have spoken to the future
If I’d have recognised the past
Imagination like a suture
A banquet where there was a fast
So what if?
What now?
What ho
What how?
No voice
No debts
No choice
No regrets
I could have made the first eleven
If I’d known the faintest thing about balls
i sung “you’ll never get to heaven”
Lived in a flat when I could have lived in halls
I didn’t recognise the future
when it came to me me at last
I would have been a worthy suitor
If I hadn’t been so crass
So what if?
What now?
What ho
What how?
No voice No debts
No choice
No regrets
So what if?
What now?
What ho
What how?
No voice
No debts
No pool
No pets
So what if?
What now?
What ho
What how?
No voice
No debts
No choice
No regrets
And now I’m sitting on the corner
Cup at my feet and belief in my outstretched hand
If I could go back I would warn her
life could be good if it hadnt been so grand
