Born Too Late Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DCdoug 

Cover art for Born Too Late lyrics by Clarks, The

I fell in love with The Clark's when WDVE first played Snowman. They had origins in my hometown of Indiana. Scott has a voice like Tom Petty that could always bring the best out of any song. I feel this song is about Scott and his efforts to become a singer. He starts with "born too late" and toward the end of the song "I was born to sing". During the song he voices his doubts. Many groups put out a song like this regarding their frustrated efforts toward fame. Maybe also in this song is the frustration (between members) with being a regional band.
