That's What They Always Say Lyrics - Chris Rea

At the first bell of the day 

They rise up from where they lay 

And look down with the promise in their hands 

A promise to get out 

This ain't what it's all about 

There's always lots of reasons for their plans 

When that golden sun shines through 

There's always one more thing to do 

Just one more stab into the wishing well 

That's what they always say 

I'm getting out 

That's what they always say 

Ain't that just what they always say 

That's what they always say 

Just one more little thing left in my way 

That's what they always say 

Ain't that just what they always say

I'm getting out, I'm holding on 

I'm hanging in, the time is wrong 

And every morning brings another reason 

A piece of cake, no lion share 

Just one more dice and you'll be there 

That golden bridge is just around the bend 

That's what they always say 

I'm getting out 

That's what they always say 

Ain't that just what they always say 

That's what they always say 

Just one more little thing left in my way 

That's what they always say 

Ain't that just what they always say 

Tomorrow is another day 

The money junkie fades away 

That golden bridge is just around the bend

That's what they always say 

I'm getting out 

That's what they always say 

Ain't that just what they always say 

That's what they always say 

Just one more little thing left in my way 

That's what they always say 

Ain't that just what they always say
