Nobody's Perfect - 1988
The lead off single from "Living Years", was met with a distinct thud at retail. Thankfully it served a far better purpose as album opener and gave the album an instant distinction with it's industrial chimes and up front lyrics.

Lyrics
It must be hard
being an angel
when the devil in your hears
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...
