There's more besides the joyrides
A little house in the country-side
Understand, learn to demand
Compromise but sometimes lie.

Get the balance right
Get the balance right

Be responsible, respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring, help the helpless
But always remain ultimately selfish

Get the balance right
Get the balance right

When you think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold it all
When you reach the top get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall
Your're gonna fall
It's almost predictable
Almost

Don't tend this way, don't tend that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
First to left, back to right
Twist and turn 'till you've got it right
