DESCRIPTION:
The Idle Race were a British rock group from Birmingham in the late 1960s and early 1970s who had a cult following but never enjoyed mass commercial success. In addition to being the springboard for Jeff Lynne, the band holds a place of significance in British Midlands' pop-rock history as a link between The Move, the Electric Light Orchestra, Steve Gibbons Band and Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders.

Victim Of Circumstance

You made me pay for something you didn't do
You might pay the price for someone who looks like you
It happens at some time or other
You could be a victim of a circumstance

Cross the road when someone shouts out "Hello Joe"
You look around but see a face that you don't know
It happens at some time or other
You could be a victim of a circumstance

You thought that you were the only one
That you were unique in your ways
Once you were one but you realize there could be two

It happens at some time or other
You could be a victim of a circumstance

Pass the road when someone shouts out "Hello Joe"
You look around but see a face that you don't know
It happens at some time or other
You could be a victim of a circumstance

Ah, it could happen at some time or other
You could be a victim of a circumstance
Ah, it could happen at some time or other
You could be a victim of a circumstance
