You're at the start I get a kick in the arse 

Then go in behind me and he grab's a pen 

Look at the form this one is sure to win 

Oh come on this ones sure to win 



They're under orders I get my money in 

They're off so I pull out a fag 

It's five to one my life has just begun 

Oh come on this ones sure to win 



Go on my son my life is win or lose 

Go on my son I've got a right to choose 

I wanna win 

I don't wanna lose 



He's at the back I light another fag 

They're in the straight I'm getting in a state 

He's moving up I give out a cheer 

They tell me to shut up two left to run 



He's right at the front looks like I'm nearly home 

He comes alive boy he's speeding up 

He's drawing away I'm shouting out hooray 

I'm going out tonight 



Go on my son my life is win or lose 

Go on my son I've got a right to choose 

I wanna win 

I don't wanna lose
