Another Year, lyric by Nazareth

from the songs album The Fool Circle

So your plane was late
You missed that date
And your horse can't win
So you drink another bottle of gin

And your shares went down
They touched the ground
And your best laid plans
Have slipped right out of your hands

So you think you're fat
Well that's a fact
But your well ran dry
So you had to walk another mile

Think about them, think about them
Think about those who'll never see another year
Think about them
Think about those who never saw

So your car won't start
Needs a special part
But you made your choice
Now you're stuck with all your big boys toys

Now the word's around
You've gone aground
And you've lost your wind
You'll never see your ship come in

Think about them, think about them
Think about those who'll never see another year
Think about them
Think about those who'll never see another year

Mother's, father's
Sister's, brother's
Old man, young man
Whale song, all gone
Where did we go wrong

Think about those who'll never see another
Those who'll never see another
Those who'll never see
Think about them, think about them.
