about

Written for a television programme .. I just liked the feel of the song so included it.

lyrics

TAKE IT FROM THE TOP

If you wanna go far hit the big time
You just take it from the top, start where you are
If you look and see that you happen to be
Way down the end of the line
Don't let it stop you bug you drop you
Take it from the top

If you wanna make friends take it easy
You just walk right up and take it from the top
Don't pretend to be anything or anyone
You can't really be
You just charm them boy, disarm them
Take it from the top

CHORUS
If you wanna know more .. and you wanna get smart
Life's never ever a bore when you follow your heart
Just check out the score and take it
Take it from the top
If you pick up a problem or two and things look black
Take it up the octave and you'll be on the right track
Don't dodge it or fake it take it
Take it from the top

Folks who don't know say a miss is as good as a mile
If you're gonna make a mistake then you do it with style
Don't give it up, pick it up .. take it
Take it from the top
If you hit rock bottom and you're hassled, bounce right back
A little bit of brass neck and sass will put you back on the track
So don't take the coda .. take it
Take it from the top

And you make a lot of friends when you hit the big time
So just walk right up and take it from the top
And if you make mistakes, thats just what it takes
To find you're still okay
You can make it if you take it boy ..
Take it easy, take it from the .. top
Take it easy, take it from the .. top
