lyrics

No Percentage In Bitter
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 1999

Walked out this morning
Barefoot on the dew
Saw the flowers blooming
Something driving their green fuse
The force that moves us onward
Is nothing you can name
The world is always spinning
Nothing stays the same

CHORUS:

There’s no percentage in bitter
You just got to let it go
There’s nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
There’s a drive to the status quo
The only place to dwell in
Is that place only you can see
Just move on
Be what you can be

Down along the boardwalks
People come and go
Talking about poetry
And Michelangelo
Sunlight on sunglasses
Filters for the soul
Protection fully guaranteed
There’s nothing new to know

CHORUS:

There’s no percentage in bitter
You just got to let it go
There’s nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
There’s a drive to the status quo
The only place to dwell in
Is that place only you can see
Just move on
Be what you can be

Bridge:
Along the streets and avenues
You choose where you will be
You can duck inside an alley
Or head out for high street

CHORUS:
