No Second Prize (song)

"No Second Prize" is the debut single by Australian rock musician Jimmy Barnes, released in August 1984 as the lead single from his debut studio album, Bodyswerve. It peaked at number 12 on the Australian Kent Music Report. The song was originally demoed by Cold Chisel but never recorded by them.
