Finney's Tale - Ken Hensley

Finney was a fighter

He had both feet on the ground

He was a regular guy just like you and me

But Finney’s change of fortune

Waited just around the corner

He was just about to meet his destiny

Well, they picked him off the streets

And put him straight into the light

Said we’re gonna name

The series after you

We’re gonna show them

How a loser turned into a winner

Go on Finney, show ‘em what you can do

Well it all went as planned

He was an overnight success

And yar after year

Was filled with promis

He had all that he required

But it wasn’t all his heart desired

And he sometimes found it hard

Just being honest

Fame is fortune’s prison

It’s so easy getting in

But it’s a different story

Trying to change direction

So Finney turned to drinking

And he started his downhill slide

Just another lost to add to life’s collection

And of course they all put Finney down

Said he’d lost all his ambition

But to me he was a giant among men

For out of all his heartache

And his see-through reputation

Finney just wanted to be Finney again

La la la …
