A Well Known Has-been lyrics
by Donovan



Tonight my life is heavy, I'm weak and down at heelThe prisoner in the dungeon will know just how I feel.I'm a well known has-been, a well known has-been,I've got a brand on me.When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see,Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see.How sad my disposition, how long can it I bear ?How deep my melancholy, can anybody care ?For the well known has-been, the well known has-been,I've got a brand on me, yeahWhen I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see,Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see.Well known has-beenWell known has-beenWell known has-been, ooh, ooh, oohI pretend I'm unaffected by the chains that bear me downAnd when only those who love me can see behind the frown.I'm the well known has-been, the well known has-been,I got a brand on me.When I look at my tomorrows, sorrow's all I see,Sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see, sorrow's all I see.>From these broken days of anguish, some day soon I'm gonna rise,I'm gonna raise my head to Heaven, I'm gonna fly the starry skies.And the well known has-been, the well known has-been,I'll lose the brand on me, yeah.Today's all I see, today's all I see, today's all I see.
