Colin Hay é um músico escocês, mas conhecido por australiano, já que desde a adolescência morou na Austrália.
Seu nome de batismo é Colin James Hay, e ele nasceu em 1953 em Saltcoats, uma localidade da Escócia. A família se mudou para a Austrália quando ele tinha 14 anos. Nessa época, Colin começou a se interessar em tocar guitarra e cantar. Em 1978, junto com Ron Strykert (guitarra), Greg Ham (sax e flauta), John Rees (baixo) e Jerry Speiser (bateria), formaram o Men at Work, que se tornou um sucesso e um ícone do surf-rock.

Verse: GC There were kings and queens and could have beens Dadd9CC/BC/AGC/GG And pretenders to the throne Em I was a sweet contender then AmD Now my seeds they've all been sown GBm I scorched the earth behind me AmDDsus2D I could have made a better plan Cadd9DGC/GG Yeah if I had been a better man
Verse: C My promises were not to keep Dadd9CC/BC/AGC/GG But thrown into the dirt Em There must be more I told myself AmD As I buttoned up my shirt GBm Well I could paint myself in glory now AmDDsus2D And be proud of who I am Cadd9DGC/GG Yeah if I had been a better man
Bridge: GG/F#EmD/F#Cadd4 Stumbling through deep suburbs of my mind G/BC/BEm7AmAsus2AmAsus4Am As secrets of silence unwind EmD/F#Cadd4 I will sing you so long G/BC/BEm7AmAsus2Am Now only love DDsus4D Only love makes me strong
Verse: GC You charity I took as mine Dadd9CC/BC/AGC/GG I claimed it as my own C I followed my ascending star C/BC/AD/F# To far away from home GBm Well I was mesmerized by shiny things AmDDsus2D Now in frozen time I stand Cadd9DGC/GG Yeah if I had been a better man
Verse: C Now I'm kneeling and I'm digging deep Dadd9CC/BC/AGC/GG Deep into the ground Em I'm searching for my soul to keep AmD Like a burried treasure found GBm In dreams I speak in ancient tongues AmDDsus2D Lost in wind and sand Cadd9DGC/GG Yeah if only I had been a better man
