| The Damage Is All Done
Lyric by Clive James, music by Pete Atkin
Now that famous ray of hope is gone
And the pain of a lost cause is gone as well,
I wish you very well of her, my friend:
The damage is all done.
Yes I wish you very well of her, my friend
More ready for a proper fight than I:
Slow to start but steady to the end.
I didn't let the chance go by,
The chance went by me,
As eventually I realised it should.
So it's all right by me
I never was that good.
And now that well-known gleam of hope is gone
And the hurt of missing-out is gone as well,
Everything is as it was, my friend.
I was on the make and now I'm on the mend.
The damage is all done.
