Mike + the Mechanics

Mike and the Mechanics (stylised as Mike + The Mechanics) are an English rock supergroup formed in Dover in 1985 by Mike Rutherford, initially as a side project during a hiatus period for his other group Genesis. The band are known for the hit singles "Silent Running", "All I Need Is a Miracle", "Taken In", "The Living Years", "Word of Mouth", and "Over My Shoulder". Initially, the band included Rutherford (the only constant member), vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young, keyboardist Adrian Lee, and drummer Peter Van Hooke. After a decade together, Lee and Van Hooke dropped out in 1995 and were not replaced.

A single failure
A little slip
A misdemeanor
A little trip
Does this condemn me
Lock me away?
Before you turn the key
I have one more thing to say
To make amends
Maybe be friends

[Chorus:] 
Everybody gets a second chance
The circumstance to say I'm sorry
I'd like to tell you in advance
Take my chance and tell you
I'm sorry too

A little stumble
A little fall
Inconsequential
Nothing At All
Now there was someone
I heard him say
That the best laid plans
Sometimes go astray
So don't be surprised
If I offer you no alibis

[Chorus]
Everybody gets a second chance
The circumstance to say I'm sorry
I'd like to tell you in advance
Take my chance and tell you
I'm sorry too

Everybody gets a second chance
The circumstance to say I'm sorry
I'd like to tell you in advance
I'll take my chance and tell you I
Take my chance and tell you 
I love you

[Chorus x2] 
Everybody gets a second chance
The circumstance to say I'm sorry
I'd like to tell you in advance
Take my chance and tell you
I'm sorry too

Everybody wants a
Everybody needs a
Everybody gets a second chance
