Expectation

Most things don't turn out the way you imagined
And no one else is there that you can blame
And your behind is behind you even though you turned around
And it's not likely getting better
 
And if you read about such that is written
about people who have acted well and greatly,
then your life seems spilled away
and it's not likely getting better
 
I guess I've wasted my only life
on tobacco and fucking and horse racing
And I've had the booze as pastime
and it made my head hurt
 
I think I'll turn my poor soul in
to pastor Ström in the chapel
And if he takes care of it really well,
he get's the lady of mine instead
 
No, not much become what you've hoped
And the kids are best when they are small
And love is the sweetest while it's burgeoning
then it's not likely getting better
 
A vow is best while it's a vow
and it will be different when it's fulfilled
Then you have forgotten most of what you vowed
and it's not likely getting better
 
But when I pass away one day,
then I shall live the other way around
Farewell to card games and liquor stores
than break down your character
 
And bachelor I will then remain as well
As a lone soul I want to wander
while the lady runs around and works on
and keeps others in check
