Second Fiddle

Stuck in the middle playing second fiddle
Gotta work your way up
Stuck in the middle trying to solve the riddle
Gotta work your way up
To the top of the pops
Good luck
To the top of the pops
Good luck
Sitting in traffic
Better get your act together
Leaving your town
Like it or not
There'll be someone waiting there
To knock you down
From the top of the pops
Good luck
From the top of the pops
Good luck
'Cause fame don't take pain away
Fame don't take pain away
Hats off to Joe Donati
Hats off to Ronnie Lane
Got myself to blame
Up on that stage
Had to work a lot harder
Than you thought
Fame don't take pain away
Fame don't take pain away
Fame don't take pain away
When it comes easy
Can't see the trees
For the breeze in your old leaves
You're feeling so dirty
About what you're singing
And they never seem pleased
At the top of the pops
You're lost
At the top of the pops
You're stuck
And fame don't take pain away
Fame don't take pain away
Don't take pain away
Stuck in the middle playing second fiddle
Stuck in the middle playing second fiddle
Stuck in the middle playing second fiddle
To the top
To the top
To the top of the pops
Top of the pops
