Second Boys Will Be First Choice
The Brobecks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of two boys and one girl, but which one will win her?
And which one is destined to fail?
Complicated situation made harder every day,
Boy number two there is someone for you,
Just forget her and walk away.
Second boys will be first choice to somebody better than you.
Don't be fooled! Be careful which one that you choose,
Second boys will be first choice to somebody better than you.
Oh!
(Guitar Solo)
Don't be fooled! Be careful which one that you choose,
Second boys will be first choice to somebody better than you.

The first two lines of the song seem to set the stage for this story, creating an atmosphere of intrigue and suspense. The singer asks the listeners to gather around and listen to his tale, portraying himself as a storyteller who will lead them through the ups and downs of this complex situation.
The chorus of the song delivers a warning to all the boys who aspire to win the girl's heart. The singer tells them to be careful about which one they choose because the second boy will be the first choice for somebody better than them. This line reveals a sense of bitterness and frustration, suggesting that the singer might have been the second choice in a similar situation in the past. The guitar solo that follows feels like an emotional outburst, expressing the singer's pain and regret.

It offers a cautionary tale to those who dare to pursue someone who might have already made up their mind. The lyrics present a sense of inevitability that is hard to swallow, suggesting that sometimes, no matter how much we try, we might always end up as the second choice.
