Eddie Reader - The Exception lyrics

In a paparazzi photograph she was stepping from a car
The tired eyes betrayed the smile of the faded singing star
At the publishers reception on the launching of her book
She told the grimy details & the toll the details took
The tours, applause, awards of course
But as the yeahrs went by, those fundamental things still applied
Oh but she thought she would be the exception
Oh yes she thought she would be the exception
But don´t we all think we are the exception
Sometimes, sometimes

The workaholic millionaire & his pretty younger wife
Had everything there was out there in the ad mans perfect life
But she left him for the milkman & then moved into his flat
Everyone said silly girl to do a thing like that
The house, the cars, the credit cards but he didn´t ask her why
He knows that theres some things even cash can´t buy
Oh yes he thought he would be the exception
Oh yes he thought he would be the exception
But don´t we all think we are the exception
Sometimes, sometimes

If a handout to the hungry & the homeless
Is a fiver in the fickle hand of fate
Does it mean we will be there on the guest list
When we get to heaven´s gate

No pain, no gain, that is what they are saying & it is hard to disagree
But I thought somehow they weren´t including me
Oh but I thought I would be the exception
Oh yes I thought I would be the exception
But don´t we all think we are the exception
Sometimes, sometimes
