The Proclaimers Wish I Could Say song lyrics

I used to cry the blues, I could only draw or lose

I stored up my hate and I used it

As bait for the people I abused

Teachers who couldn't teach, And preachers who couldn't preach

Who wasted our time on, Wasting their breath on people

That they'd never reach

Wish I could say I was better, Wish I could say I was better

I wish that it was true, and it was ‘cos of you

I wish I could say I was better, Wish I could say I was better

I wish that it was true, and it was ‘cos of you

I used to know the score, But still say it was more

Then every act or recorded fact, That ever went before

Believe me when I say, I thought I knew the way

To whiten the black and blacken the white

And change the night to day

Wish I could say I was better, Wish I could say I was better

I wish that it was true, and it was ‘cos of you

I wish I could say I was better, Wish I could say I was better

I wish that it was true, and it was ‘cos of you

Yes you, Yeah you

Oh, oh, oh

I wish I could say I was better, Wish I could say I was better

I wish that it was true, and it was ‘cos of you

I wish I could say I was better

Wish I could say I was better

I wish that it was true

And it was ‘cos of you, and it was ‘cos of you

And it was ‘cos, and it was ‘cos, and it was ‘cos of you
