It was a crack in your smile the day you were born
And you're out on the pull and it's making you yawn
Good Samaritans never play their part
Come round, let me put my hands around your heart
Live wire, your life is in the fire
We've got everything to play for, one one half time
Live wire, the world is yours to hire
We've got everything to live for, don't kick it all the time
Stand in Borough Market selling straws
People just stare at you and gawp
And you'd like to say you're wasted
But it's not the alcohol that's making you feel
Like a flat spare wheel
Live wire, your life is in the fire
We've got everything to play for, one one half time
Live wire, the world is yours to hire
We've got everything to live for, don't kick it all the time
Stand in Borough Market selling straws
People just stare at you and gawp
And you'd like to say you're wasted
But it's not the alcohol that's making you feel
Like a flat spare wheel
Helicopters hover over the street
There's always somebody else you're dying to meet
And you're always getting older
That's the deepest thought you can commit
Live wire, your life is in the fire
We've got everything to play for, one one half time
You can commit to paper
As the nights get later
Live wire, your life is in the fire
We've got everything to play for, one one half time
Live wire, the world is yours to hire
We've got everything to live for, don't kick it all the time
