Wonderful Life
1. WONDERFUL LIFE
Here I Go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
CHORUS:
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
The sun's in your eyes, the heat is in your hair
The seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend, oh I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
CHORUS
I need a friend, oh I need a friend
To make me happy, not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
CHORUS
You don't believe me,
I can tell it by your eyes,
There's a kind of magic,
To be had from your lies,
I used to say that today is like tomorrow,
Don't sell it short for truth.
I should have known
Should have known
Should have known how,
I should have known
I should have known by now.
CHORUS:
But everything is coming up roses
Everything is coming up roses
You don't understand it,
I can tell it by your smile,
There's a kind of freedom,
To be had from your lies,
I always said that today is like tomorrow,
Don't sell it short for truth.
I should have known
Should have known
Should have known how,
I should have known
I should have known by now.
CHORUS
CHORUS (Repeat)
Sometimes you laugh
Sometimes we smile at each other
Sometimes you give a lot,
When really, you'd rather not
Sometimes you pray,
Sometimes you tell a lie
Sometimes you take a hold
Of this your living day
CHORUS:
So many dreams for the asking
And I'll wager there's one here who'll try
To make a fool of you
You're crying out for more
More More More More
Sometimes you laugh
Sometimes we smile at each other
Sometimes you give a lot,
When really, you'd rather not
Sometimes you pray,
Sometimes you tell a lie
Sometimes you take a hold
Of this your living day
CHORUS
CHORUS (Repeat)
Baby,
Once more, I won't ask again
Don't tell me I should count to ten
Think freely,
I won't attempt to curb your speech
It sounds like something out of reach
Oh it's crazy
When I think of how I feel so free
Maybe there is something wrong with me
Could be!
CHORUS:
Finder,
I never seem to know when I will find her
I am the finder,
And that's fine by me
That's fine by me
Bingo!
You've said it, you "don't care to play"
Just drag on through another day
Maybe
It's time you learnt to play the fool
Break some of you silly rules
And someday,
When you think you can't do anymore
I'll be lying here to break your fall
So small
CHORUS [2x]
I am the, I am the, I am the
CHORUS [2x]
I feel the weight of your heart
And I know a way it can change
I know the weight of your heart
I know a way we can rise
Just hold my hand and we can make it to paradise
Just slip inside and we can make it to paradise
CHORUS:
Because,
Just like a forming rainbow
Just like the stars in the sky
Life should never feel small
Just like a forming rainbow
Just like the stars in the sky
Life should never feel small
We are losers now,
It wouldn't hurt to try
Oh wrap me up in passioned arms
And tell me, tell me you love
For I need to know for sure if we're to get to paradise
Just take my hand and we can make it to paradise
CHORUS
And we roll and dive and laugh and cry about it
Right out into paradise
CHORUS
Oh, never feel small
And we roll and dive and laugh and cry about it
The cotton is high,
The field is still full,
Its dust is drifting everywhere
A harvest moon
Comes up in the sky,
The blues to shake me, wake me
It's a long way down
To the birth of the blues
I haven't very far to fall
Since they were born
And came to haunt
This singing fool since day one
CHORUS:
There's so many ways to sing the blues
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, to let them break me
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, to let them break me
A harvest moon
Comes up in the sky,
The cotton chokes me, makes me dry
I know that I'm afraid
And so I am
Just a ghost
That walks through the room
I'll blame it on the moonshine brew;
Whisky and wine,
Like dust in my eyes
Making pats of kidney
CHORUS
There's so many ways to sing the blues
The field is still full,
Its dust is drifting everywhere
No! It's happening again,
The blues are shaking, waking me
It's lomg way down
To the birth of the blues
I haven't very far to fall
Since they were born
And came to haunt
This singing fool since day one
CHORUS (Repeat)
So many problems
So many problems, so many hangdog faces
So many ways to say
Oh I'll never see another day with you in it
So listen while you can
The first time that you ever have
CHORUS:
I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired
Of it
I just grew tired, grew tired, grew tired
I can count your saving graces on two fingers
Love them, sit on them
You told me that you're not afraid to die
And dying's easy, life that's hard
I don't believe a word
So listen while you can
The first time that you ever have
CHORUS
So listen while you can
The first time that you ever have
Life's not easy, but it's all you have
So I can count on you
Don't ever, never, never
Never let it sleep away
And dying's easy?
I think I'll try it out today!
CHORUS (Repeat)
It's time to shout,
It's time to let them know what we're about,
As winter kisses
Frosty cold and hard to hands.
CHORUS:
I'll waste not an ounce of my time,
Now that summer's in time,
To hold back the night,
Keep me up from the fire,
Back to the wheel.
Don't look down,
Don't ever let them know you're down,
For if we are,
We are, if we're not, so what?
CHORUS
Speak in my ear,
speak in my ear,
You're living a lie,
You're living a lie.
Speak in my ear,
speak in my ear,
You're living a lie,
You're living a lie.
No you can't here,
No you can't here,
Out from the fire,
Out from the here,
Hell on the way,
There's hell on the way.
Seeing you, I knew why I'd come so far,
And I thanked the stars for leading me to you,
Your fairy tale prince, I'm trying so hard,
To make like an orchard in my own back yard.
Oh the rain dribbles down me in my beatitude,
My collar and shirt, down legs to battered shoes,
Life is a breeze!
CHORUS:
I'm just making memories, good times or bad,
I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had.
And I'm still living my teenage angst,
On the printed page and in other ways,
So if I seem cruel, it's only the fool in me,
That wants to tyr and see if you'll cry.
Oh the rain dribbles down me in my beatitude,
My collar and shirt, down legs to battered shoes,
Life is a breeze!
CHORUS (Repeat)
CHORUS (Repeat)
No need to ask why I'm mischief and joy,
I'm still the tall boy who just wouldn't crawl.
I'm just making memories, good times or bad,
I'm just making memories, you're the best that I've had.
CHORUS (Repeat)
I think my heart must be made of clay,
'Cause everyone said it would be broken some day,
And now I've come to that fateful day,
So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands,
And don't tell me how to make it pay,
I write a new song every day,
I just wish I was made of wood,
I might not feel pain, even if I should,
CHORUS:
Even if I should,
If I should
The sweetest smile that ever did.
Melt the pats in the butter dish.
And if you could have believed in me.
I swear to God I'd have made damn sure.
Our hearts were warm,
And glad with wine.
I'd keep the doors locked all the time.
I just wish I was made of wood.
You might not seem glad.
Even if you should.
CHORUS:
Even if you should
If you should
If you should
If you should
I think my heart must be made of clay.
'Cause everyone said it would be broken someday.
Seems like I have come to that fateful day.
So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands
With my head in my hands.
CHORUS (Repeat)
Now it's complete,
Ravel is in the rain
Standing in my dream street
I'd like to meet
Ravel in New Orleans
Hold out my hand to his
CHORUS:
I was warned, now I'm old
Still searching for what I'm told
Is gone, is God, is not
Don't try to leave
I've tried so many times
The street is named desire
CHORUS (Repeat)
Not for nothing at all,
Not for nothing did I call,
Reason is you're often appalled,
Hold on now John
You never seemed cold!
I thought you were in love
Then I guess that you're not,
Ah, but then the first thing you wrote, was:
Hold on now John,
Hold on now John now hold on.
CHORUS:
You don't answer when I call,
You don't answer then,
You don't answer when I call,
Leave yourself alone
Leave yourself alone
Cabbages and kings in your dreams,
These are your dreams,
Maybe they're not quite what they seem,
Hold on now John, blame is undone,
Wash up the air,
Don't drive that car,
Never learn to play the guitar,
And leave yourself alone
Leave yourself alone
Leave yourself alone
Leave yourself alone
CHORUS [2x]
Sweeping up the ashes of rock,
Sweeping up the ashes of roll,
Years begin to take up their toll.
Though not for some you've never seemed cold.
CHORUS:
You don't answer when I call,
You don't answer then,
You don't answer when I call,
Hold on now John,
Hold on now John,
You don't answer when I call,
You don't answer then,
You don't answer when I call,
Leave yourself alone
Leave yourself alone
You don't follow me now,
Ribbons in hair
Searching for answers when
There's none there
Then following me round,
Up my stair
Into my bedroom if
I'm in there
Hoping for something
Because it seems the right thing to do
CHORUS:
You know what to do then
Yeah yeah yeah
You know what to do then
Yeah yeah yeah
You still follow me now,
Temptingly fair
Finding your answers when
There's none there
Hoping for something
Because it seems the right thing to do
CHORUS [2x]
I gave you houses,
I gave you furs
I gave you them before you
Had the first
I gave you kisses,
I stroked your fur
I love a woman now that
You've had the first
CHORUS:
It's not you,
I won't give you all
It's not you
I won't give you all
Get out of my face
You took the houses,
You took the furs
You took another after
You took the first
You took my kisses,
And those of fur
Now I love a woman
And it's the first
CHORUS:
It's not you,
I won't give you all
It's not you
I won't give you all
Get out of my face
Get out of my face
Get out of my face out of my face
You know you have me
To keep at will
Whatever whets your fancy,
Whatever you will
Tokk what you want,
Took what you will
Take my shonker baby
And drink your fill
CHORUS:
It's not you,
I won't give you all
It's not you
I won't give you all
It's not you,
I won't give you all
It's not you
I won't give you all
Get out of my face
Get out of my face
Get out of my face out of my face
I used to hide
I used to cry a lot
But now I don't
It's you, you
For when you smile
The whole world's sky
When you smile,
I'm a star in that sky
It's you
It's you
And we're barely friends
We're hardly star-crossed lovers
But who cares?
It's you
It's you
For when you smile
The whole world's sky
When you smile,
I'm a star in that sky
It's you
It's you
