lyrics

So I see you’ve had your eye on the prize,
And I have familiarized myself with your plight.
Sometimes you need a plan B to survive.
Strategically, a plan C D E F G.

Then if let me be your next best thing. Let me be your next best thing.
Your hips will swerve, your mood will swing.
Your lips won’t purse and your dopamine will offer up an extra gleam,
If you let me be your next best thing.

So I agree you were the one with the know how.
So how did things get so sour?
When you would work the room for hours.
But when things stop working out like it’s supposed to be,
It’s plan C D E F G.

Then if let me be your next best thing. Let me be your next best thing.
Your hips will swerve, your mood will swing.
Your lips won’t perse and your dopamine will offer up an extra gleam,
If you let me be your next best thing.

I know you don’t want to settle for any substitute.
But oh look over my credentials, I studied at the Institute
Of next best times and I’m the next in line and you’re sure to surmise,
That it cannot be disputed....I’m your next best thing!

So when you’ve had the chance to ponder it,
Then we’ll revise the script and the twists and turns and the lines.
Now you’ve memorized it, don’t be surprised if it’s take 1 2 3 4 5!

Then if let me be your next best thing. Let me be your next best thing.
Your hips will swerve, your moods will swing.
Your lips won’t purse and your submarine will emerge in Pleasant Stream,
If you let me be your next best thing.

Your next best thing. Your next best thing. Your next best thing.
Oh oh oh your next best thing.

Under the guise of ‘The James Clark Institute’, Toronto based music artist, James Clark takes the classic pop song style that he grew up with and gives it his own spin. The music of Elvis Costello, Ray Davies and Lennon and McCartney have all influenced James' musical style. “A wealth of songwriting talent” says renowned music writer/ ex-MuchMusic VJ Michael Williams in Cashbox Canada. ... more
