| Song | The Exception |
| Artist | Eddi Reader |
| Album | Eddi Reader |
| 作词 : Nevin | |
| In a paparazzi photograph she was stepping from a car | |
| The tired eyes betrayed the smile of the faded singing star | |
| At the publishers reception on the launching of her book | |
| She told the grimy details and the toll the details took | |
| The tours, applause, awards of course | |
| But as the years went by, those fundamental things still applied | |
| Oh but she thought she'd be the exception | |
| Oh yes she thought she'd be the exception | |
| But don't we all think we're the exception | |
| Sometimes, sometimes | |
| The workaholic millionaire and his pretty younger wife | |
| Had everything there was out there in the ad mans perfect life | |
| But she left him for the milkman and then moved into his flat | |
| Everyone said silly girl to do a thing like that | |
| The house, the cars, the credit cards but he didn't ask her why | |
| He knows that there's some things even cash can't buy | |
| Oh yes he thought he'd be the exception | |
| Oh yes he thought he'd be the exception | |
| But don't we all think we're the exception | |
| Sometimes, sometimes | |
| If a handout to the hungry and the homeless | |
| Is a fiver in the fickle hand of fate | |
| Does it mean we'll be there on the guest list | |
| When we get to heaven's gate | |
| No pain, no gain, that's what they're saying and it's hard to disagree | |
| But I thought somehow they weren't including me | |
| Oh but I thought I'd be the exception | |
| Oh yes I thought I'd be the exception | |
| But don't we all think we're the exception | |
| Sometimes, sometimes |
