Grand National Songtext
von Captain of the Lost Waves

Some of us will be falling at Bechers and some of us go at the chair
Some of us just because just because we don′t want to be there
Forty yards it seems from the winning post some jump high into the sky
It was said they carried that Devon Loch look in their eyes When up close when up close
They neither craved the fame nor the money but failing so gloriously
Reveals a new paradise

Some things in life are still worth getting excited about


In a traffic of bodies a mighty pile up occurs
Oh and then out of the clearing tis only you that's emerged The highly unfancied the one that nobody claimed the most likely
They said in school to break a leg or end up lame You you the most outside of outsiders
We′re the 100-1 shot Tipperary Tim is our name

And some things in life are still worth getting excited about

In the national of life we're all runners and riders and some of us
The most outside of outsiders we're waiting we′re still chasing
And glory is fleeting from obscurity is forever they′re neck and neck
They can't split them it′s a photo finish
