Kick Me When I'M Down Your Victory

I spent years depressed and out of luck 
at my lowest low friends opt to show me up 
boasting achievements whilst I clearly suck 
they're seeking a victory over me, stuck 

taking shots at a man at his lowest 
a friend in fact, one feeling hopeless 
one up opportunists showing I have less
desperate and horrible yet only I noticed 

I was in a place he should be helping 
I've said that man's bitter and selfish 
shallow enough to shoot and raise a fist 
kick a man when he's down, as I had insist 

better than a man who's stuck at his worst 
a man he should help but his ego comes first 
a victory decent folk would declare worthless 
Kev, equal to bottom winning with a sick thirst

accomplished with the kids and wife you're married to 
but I rejected her mate whilst she rejected you 
she wouldn't of let you in her pants for life 
if she wasn't a last chance circumstantial wife 

she likes 'em talk dark and handsome 
but sod it you'll do 
pasty bald and witless
stood at 4 foot 2 

an insight as to why you kick out with that shoe 
and friends down at their lowest stuck lost without a clue 
so you can keep your medal mate and your lady too 
rejected by the football team then settling for you

You kick me when I'm down
win when we share common ground 
and now I've stood back up 
you're still a selfish angry clown
