Chart Hit [Level 6]
male vocalist 1986 or prior
this piece starts off with electronic bells and has a steel drum band flavor to the song. There is also a harmonica break in the song.
Lyrics:
an insolent speck of youth
being taken for a walk
so tightly by the ear
that he can hardly talk
yesterday's men hang on to today
to sing in the old fashioned way
Chorus:
It must get better in the long run
has to get better in the long run
a metropolitian marathon
has been held today
that's who you need to catch
we'll be coming the other way
yesterday's men hang on to today
to sing any old way
Chorus:
It must get better in the long run
has to get better in the long run
because when you're to stop
how far can you go
when your race is run
and you already know
because when you're told to stop
how far will you go
when your race is run
and you already know
Yetta
