Never Gonna Be Alright Lyrics by Tim Staffell

Two Late

2018

Tight corner, you know it’s a squeeze
A  static charge like you wouldn’t believe
He  made friends with some big time Hollywood stars
Smell of trouble comin’ in on the wind
I don’t know where the hell he’s been
But  he’s been tryin’ to chew his way through those penitentiary bars
He  won’t change, he’s so uptight
I’m so afraid that it’s never gonna be alright
I  should have known he’d be burnin’ mad
Just like the father that she never had
An’ if she won’t play ball
He’ll want to know the reason why
But  I can tell by that look on his face
He’ll take it out on the whole human race
But I won’t be around if he decides to come by
He won’t change, he’s so uptight
I’m so afraid that it’s never gonna be alright
I turned around, I was doin’ alright
Made my escape on a midnight flight
I guess it’s like being chased by the FBI
I called that woman on the telephone
She sounded strange, like she wasn’t alone
I didn’t speak, I didn’t even say goodbye
There’s a crowd of young guys waitin’ on the corner
I got a fifty dollar bill and a pocket of real small change
If I can buy a ticket across a sea of trouble
You’d better tell me if there’s something that can be arranged
I thought I saw him comin’ down the road
Four by four with a heavy load
But it was just some trucker with a trunk full of turpentine
I grew a beard and I shaved my head
I told my friends I’m as good as dead
But if they see him comin’ will they please try to drop me a line
He won’t change, he’s so uptight
I’m so afraid that it’s never gonna be alright
He won’t change, he’s so uptight
I’m so afraid that it’s never gonna be alright
Never gonna be alright
He won’t change, he’s so uptight
I’m so afraid that it’s never gonna be alright
