Take What You Got

Remember the pub where our fathers went
 To spend the end of the day?
 Remember the yard behind the pub
 Where we'd run and play?
 Yeah, well, now the pub is a laundromat
 Now, the yard is a high-rise flat
 You can't go back
 You can't make it last
 You've gotta take what you've got
 Even when your life is in knots
 You take aim, take your shot
 Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
 You've got to take what you've got
 You'd always say that one of these days
 You'd get out of Northampton town
 You'd always say that you wouldn't stay
 No, you wouldn't stick around
 Never knew what I wanted before
 Now I'm even more unsure
 You can't move on if you're still in the past
 You've gotta take what you've got
 Even when your life is in knots
 You take aim, take your shot
 Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
 You've got to take what you've got
 Everybody's telling me what I need to be
 Change with the times, move to London town
 Or live out a legacy
 Well, maybe this time, I take a chance
 Leap into the vast expanse
 Maybe this time, I seize my destiny
 My destiny!
 If you're on the wrong road, turn back
 So, you'll help me out?
 Thank you, Harry
 Two, three!
 You've gotta take what you've got
 Even when your life is in knots
 You take aim, take your shot
 Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot
 You've got to take what you've got (You've got to take what you've got)
