Heard I couldn’t do it
Would never come through it
Didn’t have the guts
Wouldn’t last a month

Said I never had enough
Didn’t have the chops
“What a silly man
No contingency plan”

Look at you now
Who’s sitting around?
Who’s just a face in the crowd?
It’s a good thing I didn’t listen
Look at you now
Who feels like a clown?
Who’s laughing now?
It’s a good thing I didn’t listen

Told me not to bother
Not got enough to offer
“Get back in your place
Don’t make a stupid mistake”

Thought I never had it right
Didn’t have the fight
“What a silly man
No contingency plan”

Look at you now,
Who’s sitting around?
Who’s just a face in the crowd?
It’s a good thing I didn’t listen
Look at you now Who feels like a clown?
Who’s the silly one now?
It’s a good thing I didn’t listen
