"I Was Meant for Better Things"

(8 bar intro...very refined and stately)

Clarence solo

I was meant for better things than this

I should be on a podium in the Tate.

Or living under spotlights

In a French Museum.

It only needed one small twist of fate.

I'd move within the circles 

Of the rich and intellectual.

At all the latest premieres and shows.

But instead I'm stuck here

With a bunch of philistines.

Who wouldn't know culture 

If it bit them on the nose!

ALL. Rock and Roll style. Faster

What's that you're saying there

You snobbish lump of clay

We're just as good as you

So get down

From your high horse, baby!

Just let your hair down

And have some fun!

Come down here...and relax

We're gonna get down

'Til the morning comes.

Pottery rock and roll dance break

Doo...wop wop

Doo...wop wop

Doo...wop wop

Doo...doo wop wop wop wop

Doo...wop wop

Doo...wop wop

Doo...wop wop

Doo...doo wop wop wop wop

Slowing down, Clarence solo

I was meant for better things than this

I should be on a podium in the Tate.

Or living under spotlights

In a French Museum.

It only needed one small twist of fate.
