Uriah Heep - Can't Take That Away lyrics

He read his lines right on cue He had perfect time But who would think that in his life He would turn to crime They said it must have been an act The role he had to play A stage too far the spotlight glow He chose to throw way Twilight fills his narrow room The memory of sweet perfume And you can’t take that away You can’t take that away There’s one thing in life that you do best Just do it well and you can’t take that away Now that he is forced to choose And find something to do Scraping walls with verse and rhyme To help him to go through But still the thought of who he was Sneaks into his head Between those dirty sheets He’s better off alive than dead Twilight fills his narrow room The memory of sweet perfume And you can’t take that away You can’t take that away There’s one thing in life that you do best Just do it well And you can’t take that away No you can’t take that away There’s nothing in life that you do best Just do it well And you can’t take that away Looking back on better days He tries to understand Why he never asked someone To lend a helping hand The price he paid was governed By the gra** that was so green The headlines hit the world And wiped him off the silver screen Twilight fills his narrow room The memory of sweet perfume And you can’t take that away You can’t take that away There’s one thing in life that you do best Just do it well And you can’t take that away No you can’t take that away There’s nothing in life that you do best Just do it well And you can’t take that away
