Jim Gilchrist &
C'est La Vie!
Blast From The Past
Capital A
EVERYBODY'S BORN, WITH COMMON SENSE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS, BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE.
AND YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, ALL THE TIME,
PLAY THE GAME OF COURSE, BUT BEAR THE FACTS IN MIND. SO...

TAKE IT EASY MATE, YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL NOW DAYS, (TAKE IT EASY MATE) CAPITAL A.
NOW CAUTION IS THE WORD I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING YOU AND I, JUST CAN'T IGNORE.
SO WHEN YOU'RE 'IN THE MOOD' AND THINGS COMMENCE,
SAYING THAT 'I DIDN'T KNOW' IS NO DEFENCE. SO...

TAKE IT EASY MATE, YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL NOW DAYS, (TIME TO HESITATE), CAP IT ALL A.
​
​
NOW I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS THING'S FOR REAL,
AND THAT CATCHING IT IS MORE THAN AN ORDEAL.
FIRST OF ALL YOU MAY WELL END UP BRANDED,
CONSEQUENTLY YOU, WILL END UP STRANDED. SO...

TAKE IT EASY MATE, YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL NOW DAYS, (TIME TO HESITATE), CAP IT ALL A.
