Great Expectations Songtext
von Fludd

Started out with my life in doubt
I didn′t know what to be
At a tender age, I had to be saved
From hanging around the streets
From doing this and doing that
It always seemed to me

That a man's gotta do what a man′s gotta do
And that's how it's got to be

On a dirty night with a rusty knife
I took a long walk to see
If I had to go on a downhill road
Or could I learn to be
What a mother saw or a simple man
Could learn to understand

That a man′s gotta do what a man′s gotta do
So he takes it by the hand


And I had such great expectations
Yes, I had such great expectations
But they always let me down

Well, I had such great expectations
Yes, I had such great expectations
But they always let me down

Well, I'm closer now to the final bow
But I′ve got a long way to go
And I know it's far ′cause I've got the scars
From learning for myself
That a magic light on the darkest night
Shines halfway ′round the world

When a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
But he′s got to do it well

And now I had such great expectations
Yes, I had such great expectations
They won′t always let me down
