Mike + The Mechanics - Nobody's Perfect Lyrics






It must be hard
being an angel
when the devil in your heart
won't set you free
it must be hard
being an angel
when the world has let you down
imperfection all around

Hey look at me
it must be hard
it must be hard
it must be hard.

Nobody's perfect
all of the time
nobody's perfect
we are what we are
there's no perfect reason
and no perfect rhyme
for most of the time
that's what we're looking for.

Gentlemen gentlemen please!
can you please support the notion
of what I'm saying here
that the person here in question
must be an angel here on earth
if they can't see a human being
for what a human being's really worth
gentlemen please!

Nobody's perfect
all of the time
nobody's perfect
we are what we are
there's no perfect reason
and no perfect rhyme
for most of the time
that's what we're looking for.

It must be hard
being an angel
it must be hard
when the world has let you down
it must be hard
being an angel
it must be hard.

Nobody's perfect
all of the time
nobody's perfect
we are what we are
there's no perfect reason
no perfect rhyme
most all of the time
that's what we're looking for...

    My favourite mike and the mechanics track

  3. A.... O....

    Ooooh what a tune!

  4. G.... i....

    Why did they break up, I wonder?

    G.... i....

    They actually didn't break up. Adrian Lee (keyboards) left during recording Beggar on a Beach, Peter Van Hooke (drums) left shortly after the release of that album. The band continued with Mike and the Pauls (and session musicians) for two more albums and then Paul Young tragically passed away due to a massive heart attack. Mike and Paul Carrack released one more album and then Paul left to pursue solo work. Mike then formed a new version of M&TM with new musicians. They've released three albums (2011, 2017 & this year).

    Another great classic from mike and the mechanics. I think mike Rutherford is one of the most prolific song writers ,he’s been churning out this stuff for over 50 years and he’s still doing it,well done mike.
