Jimmy Barnes - No Second Prize Lyrics
Oh Yeah
I heard about a person who had a broken heart
With nothing to drive him on, no hope no spark no flame
He could'nt see at all tears they were blinding him
You know I say I tried to warn him
They had him backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late
No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
They had him backed up against the wall
Why can't I stand up and try to tell him
They've got me backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late
No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
There's not gonna be no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
Oh there's no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
Never never never never gonna be
Oh no there ain't no second prize

I love Chisel more, but solo Barnesy was always great. Even the screaming sky cowboy version.
Timeless.
Story of my life!
Jimmy can you help me?
This has been the theme song of my life since it came out.
One must be true to oneself. If not, opportunities and time itself are wasted... There is no second prize. That's what this song is about. It is not a sports song. It is a song about life (and love). Open your ears.
Thank you
Classic i love it.
This is amazing this song ,sung straight from jimmys heart, to our hearts ,I remember getting sober one year to this song ,I would think sobriety wasn't no second chance ,just first !! Love Jimmy Barnes x
Another song you do NOT hear on Any of Melbourne's Shit FM Radio Stations........... Anymore.
Were green screens out back then?
Want this played at my funeral please, might be sooner than I want.
Read his book.. Working Class Boy.. omg what a life...xx
Why's that
@Leeanne Cosier The title has been my life's motto; I've been battling cancer for 18 months and some days you wonder how long you can fight. Today I'll hear nothing than that I have beaten the bastard:)
When the men looked like men
Good NSW trains there. Also great shot of 4201. Great song also
Classic Aussie rock.
My favourite Sony by jimmy keep it up barnzey
It is good to be an aussie who enjoyed this period, isn't it ?
Born in 89 but feel like this is something I actually missed out on, true Aussie rock
And the record producers reconed this song and working class man would not make it ...... wrong!
a great Australian with a superb voice..!!!
A complete boss across 2-3 generations
The guitar that Mal Eastick is playing in this , I think its a Steinberg headless, he really rocks the fuck out of it, Mal, you are underrated, I hope your still doing well mate, i remember seeing your play on the goldcoast a long time ago, you came out playing a hendrix type of thing and melted the stage.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ringtone
Fantastic voice , sounds like he has been gargling with castle nuts !!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
the song I used to listen before my race meetings \
love this guys voice and love this song
love this guys voice and love this song
For some reason i listen to this song when a woman im in love with doesnt feel the same way about me. I can't just be her friend. Need to move forward and forget about the friendship, because there aint no second prize. Might not be the meaning Jimmy had when he wrote the song but its helping me forge ahead and get on with life.
you should have rode in a real freight car !!!!!
Jimmy✊🏾
Words everyone should live by.
There is a lesson there
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
guitar playing in this is beatiful, I love it.
This song is good
I one second in a race did the best I could
Do you mean WON ??
One of the great rock and roll singers
Hi

After watching his story this week, now I know the amount of absolute bullshit this man went through!! A great song now made better
awesome pub rock ..
Go Jimmy!
You gotta fight, to save your life
What do you mean 'There ain't no second prize'? There's second prizes. I got lots of em.
4:05 -- Looks like that horse is gonna take second prize.
No one can tell u exactly what u have gotta be
Love this song .
Great song.😎🇿🇦
I saw Mal Eastwick on the gold coast in the 80's and he rocked hard, on the "Working class man" album I think his guitar playing is second to none. So underated, and oh yeah Barnsey was ok.
Mountains can be moved, even if it takes a million bull freaking dozers ha!

A amazing man
One of my all time favourites and even better that the man himself has written 'stand your ground' on a photo of me and him.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Anthem of life
Oh Yeah
I heard about a person who had a broken heart
With nothing to drive him on, no hope no spark no flame
He couldn't see at all tears they were blinding him
He kept it all inside, the guilt and all the pain
You know I say I tried to warn him
They had him backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late
No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
You know I say I tried to warn him
They had him backed up against the wall
Why can't I stand up and try to tell him
They've got me backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late
No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
There's not gonna be no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
Oh there's no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
Never never never never gonna be
Oh no there ain't no second prize
R.I.p Johnny danger will forever b missed Nz
Jimmy Barns Represented Australian with Aussie Grit songs..loved it!
What a unique voice. Deserved to be big
One of my all time favourite songs
Going thru basic training in the army the played a video of soldiers launchingnout of apcs, smoke grenades going off and machine gun fire. Definetely amped us boys uo with song in the back ground. Miss those days back in the Army with mates who had each others backs.
Yep 1RTB kapooka we were played that war footage to this song in hell week in the cinema room .. there was not a dry eye in our platoon ...
hahahaha yeah still here
Bloody legend
still such a great tune, eastick knocks it out of the universe with his guitar work, back from when barnes could actually sing !!!!!!!!!!
He still can.. i thought he sucked but i saw him with Cold Chisel in Adelaide in 2017.. It was amazing and he sounded fantastic and so did Ian Moss.
Baaarrrnnneeeesssseeeyyyyy!!!!!! Ooooohhhh yeeeaaahhhhhh!!!!
Your a legend barnsey thank u for the awesome tunes thru the years mate 🎸👍👍👌🎸👍
what a song...
AHHHHHHHHHHH
Hah, Jimmy with hair :oDDD
Good to hear the original version, not the messed up re-recording on For the Working Class Man
I prefer the re recording with the extra vocals/ad libbing myself but both are great..
No there ain't no " Second Prize " only " First Prize " Jimmy Barnes.
Have been a fan since the " Cold Chisel " days, and forever will be !
******
Who did the solo?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaahh yeyaahh ahh aaahhh
Lead guitar was smokin...barnesy was ok too.
One of his best solo tracks.
