Life's For the Living
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
- Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
- Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
- The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
- While laundrettes cleaned clothes
- High heals rub toes
- Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
- Dressed in their suits and their boots well
- They all look the same
- I took myself down to the cafe to find
- All the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
- And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
- Don't you cry for the lost
- Smile for the living
- Get what you need and give what you're given
- Life's for the living so live it
- Or you're better off dead
- While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
- Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
- We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
- While pigeon's pecked trains
- Sparks flew like planes
- The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
- And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
- And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
- Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
- With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
- Don't you cry for the lost
- Smile for the living
- Get what you need and give what you're given
- Life's for the living so live it
- Or you're better off dead
- Well I'm sick of this town
- This blind man's forage
- They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
- You can have them back son
- When you've paid off your mortgage and loans
- Oh hell with this place
- I'll go it my own way
- I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
- Someday someone must be going my way home
- Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
- With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
- And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
- Don't you cry for the lost
- Smile for the living
- Get what you need and give what you're given
- You know life's for the living so live it
- Or you're better off dead
- Don't you cry for the lost
- Smile for the living
- Get what you need and give what you're given
- Life's for the living so live it
- Or you're better off dead
Let's listen to my solo!
