The A Team

(Album: London - 2001)

A lined red face burns in the sun, frying on the pavement
This Mr T endorses rum, now you know
T for Tennants from the can, it's the choice of champions
Become an extraordinary man, a super man

Legal at 18
To try for the A Team

It's the children most impressed, that clown's lost his make up
He's raging at the damned success, at being the best
We may never make the grade, not the likes of you and I
But once or twice a week we try, then we dry

It takes dedication
To be on the A Team

Not just teenage bravado
You went the extra mile
Forget the weekenders 'cause
All the practice came good just like you knew it would

The cream of the cream
Go off in the A Team
There are still placings now
To be on the A Team
