I Coul’da Been a Contender

[Verse 1]
I'm broke and I'm hungry, I'm hard up and I'm lonely
I've been dancin' on this killing floor for years
Of the few things that I am certain, I'm the captain of my burden
I'm sorry doll, I could never stop the rain

[Verse 2]
Once you said I was your hero
You would dance with me on a dime
We could spin this world right, right, right round
And catch back up on the flipside
I was gonna get this real big engine
I was gonna get them Broadway stars
You were gonna be my Judy Garland
We were gonna share your tin man heart

[Chorus]
There's a dirty wind blowing, there's a storm front coming in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

[Bridge]
We used to drive all night
All over town
We'd go Waltzing Matilda
When Matilda came around
(And I always sang them blues to you)

[Chorus]
There's a dirty wind blowing, there's a storm front coming in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

[Chorus]
There's a dirty wind blowing, there's a storm front coming in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

[Chorus]
There's a dirty wind blowing, there's a storm front coming in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams

[Outro]
On heart attacks and broken dreams
Atlantis is my only dream tonight
