Did you ever? Lyrics

Did you ever?

Did you ever?

Did you hear about the man who thought he'd never come unstuck

He was the one who said he'd never run out of luck

And believed he had an unlimited supply of pluck

And if the going got tough he could always pass the buck

Was he the man who nearly lost all that he had longed for

Everything he thought he'd gained in life

And as the future that he'd dreamed seemed to fade before his eyes

He wondered if it had been worth the fight

But doubt was not a word he was prepared to entertain

When for so long he'd told himself the game was his to play

So armed with a sense of confidence that attack was the best form of defence

He would show the world, yes everyone would see he had mastered his reality

But in time he could not deny he faced limits no matter how he tried

Life goes its own sweet way despite our dreams and our ambitions

And all our well made plans

But he never

No he never

He never let go of long held desires and aspirations

Preferred to live in the world of his imagination

Knowing his destiny was to win

Knowing one day his ship would come in

When it did he'd be in like Flynn

And real life could begin

So he's anticipating

Just how he'll be celebrating

When his ship comes in

But he's still waiting

He's still waiting...
