"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.
