Lyrics:INTRO:

42 years you’ve been living in me
And I don’t want to make it 43
How I wish you would let me be
You’re like a lover, from whom I can’t recover

Had all the ops and treatment I can hack
Still a forty percent risk of you coming back
Not going to waste my time, waiting for you to attack
Cos I’ve thought it all through – I’ve had enough of you

VERSE 1:

I’ve been told by you, put on hold by you
Been cajoled and given the cold shoulder from you
But your 40 percent isn’t enough to control my life

I’ve been spied on by you, lost my stride to you
I’m in danger to get up and go and of Losing my pride to you
But your 40 percent ‘aint enough to control my life.

BRIDGE:

Your cancer is sure gonna be the making or breaking of me, 
oh yes – mmm mmm mmm 
But while I accept you, I can’t really let you be the taking of me
Oh no -

VERSE 2:

*T his may be a song for you, but I don’t belong to you
* At the moment my shares in my life are making me strong against you
Cos your 40 percent isn’t enough to control my life

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

(UP A TONE)

VERSE 3:

* I have been lied to, had red eyes from you
My soul’s been laid out and dried in front of you
But your 40 percent just ‘aint enough to control my life

* I’ve been hurt by you, done your work for you
* I have even lay down, lay down in the dirt for you


I’ve been hitten and bitten and chewed up and spitten
Very displeased and got down on my knees
Got involved, rock n rolled, thought my whole life revolved
Signed request, passed a test, been the best of the best

I’m not reliant, I am defiant
40 percent will not make me relent

Because 60, 60 percent – that I have left in me
Oh oh oh, 60 percent
Of my life belongs to me

(oooh, 60 percent, ooh ooh ooh)
