Lyrics John Wetton

John Wetton

Get What You Want

You always were a survivor

Always could hang on

You've got the judge in your pocket

You'll get want you want

Clear skies aboard the Titanic

Full steam ahead

The water's cold but don't panic

You'll wake up in bed

You were always the one

You knew how it was done

When I could walk you could run

Now I hear you've retired and I've hardly begun

Get what you want

There's no cigar for Napoleon

And his friends like you

Who get a hard sort of holy on

The road to Waterloo

You always were a deceiver

Heart broken down

Infatuated with circuses

But scared to death of clowns

You were always the one

You knew how it was done

When I could walk you could run

Now I hear you've retired and I've hardly begun

Get what you want

Look at the river

Look at it flowing

Stand and deliver

Tell me where you're going

Don't understand you

But you're fascinating

So I'll wait here to land you

I'm waiting…

Clear skies aboard the Titanic

Still steaming on

The water's cold but don't panic

You'll get what you want

You were always the one

You knew how it was done

When I could walk you could run

Now I hear you've retired and I've hardly begun

Get what you want
