No Chance Regret - Lou Reed

　　It must be nice to be steady it must be nice to be firm

　　It must be nice never to move off the mark

　　It must be nice to be dependable and never let anyone down

　　It must be great to be all the things you're not

　　It must be great to be all the things that I'm not

　　I see you in the hospital your humor is intact

　　I'm embarrassed by the strength I seem to lack

　　If I was in your shoes so strange that I'm not

　　I'd fold up in a minute and a half

　　I'd fold up in a minute and a half

　　And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　No - I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　It must be nice to be normal it must be nice to be cold

　　It must be nice not to have to go oh up or down

　　But me I'm all emotional no matter how I try

　　You're gone and I'm still here alive

　　You're gone and I'm still here alive

　　And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　No - I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　There are things we say we wish we knew and in fact we never do

　　But I'd wish I'd known that you were going to die

　　Then I wouldn't feel so stupid such a fool that I didn't call

　　And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　No there's no logic to this - who's picked to stay or go

　　If you think too hard it only makes you mad

　　But your optimism made me think you really had it beat

　　So I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　No - I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

　　I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
