Arabian Derby Lyrics

I never feared the rain
Until you turned to me
And said you'd failed again
It makes a perfect day so lame
And leads us halfway to nowhere
So the players have changed
Soon we'll memorise the names
But somehow something's never quite the same
Still we stick a claim, you can count us in again

And everyone's a winner baby
Hedge your bets, get set and maybe
We could be the first to cross the line
Get up, get set, get ready
Get high, get low, get even
Cos we're living in inimitable style
Chasing the ultimate prize

You'd make a fine millionaire
It's only natural to celebrate
But someone's got to be there to pay
And we never get there
So take some time on our own
We burn enough alone
Close but still not fully grown
Pulling marrow from a bone
But there's no turning back
So count us in again

And everyone's a winner baby
Hedge your bets, get set and maybe
We could be the first to cross the line
Everyone's a winner baby
Everyone's a winner baby

Going back to the old house
The Marigolds just go to show
That some of us should never have left home
But see I'm still counting
Another flash in the pan
A cheap and instant forming tan
It seems to grow on me
Taking inches from a mile
But I'm all for throwing it on the line

And everyone's a winner baby
Hedge your bets, get set and maybe
We could be the first to cross the line
Get up, get set, get ready
Get high, get low, get even
Cos we're living in inimitable style
Chasing the ultimate prize

And everyone's a winner baby (baby)
Oh everyone's a winner baby
Everyone's a winner baby (baby)

Catatonia were an alternative rock band from Cardiff, Wales formed in 1992. They consisted of Cerys Matthews (vocals), Mark Roberts (guitar), Owen Powell (guitar), Paul Jones (bass) and Aled Richards (drums). They split in 2001.

Catatonia was formed in 1992, reputedly after songwriter Mark Roberts heard Cerys busking in Cardiff city centre. They had considerable success, their most famous hits being "Mulder and Scully", "Road Rage" and "Dead From The Waist Down". In September 2001, Cerys announced her departure from Catatonia after bouts of exhaustion and anxiety. Her departure was followed shortly by the breakup of the group.

Cerys is now performing her solo material (which is more folk/ country influenced) .

Not to be confused with the Swedish metal band Katatonia.

Cerys now has a solo album and is working as a DJ for Alternative radio Station BBC 6 Music. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
