"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.
