Lyrics
Simple Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, if you love the life you live
Then you'll get a lot more done
Be more inclined to take the reigns
And turn away and run
It's very rare, it seems, To get a lifetime guarantee
So I suppose self-satisfaction be the key
Oh, my father is a wealthy self-made man
But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land
And instead he has a family who are his biggest fans,
That's something that I one day hope to have
So I'll cherish the simple things,
the easy took for granted things
Like going 'round my mum's house for my tea
And argue with my sister,
only God knows how I missed her
It's the simple things that mean the most to me.
Argh, he gets up each day at five
Starts the car and makes the drive
Shutters up, starts the fryers
Serves out food to all the buyers in the town
As they stand there in the same old line
No, you never hear him grumble or groan
'Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on
And like me he cherished the simple things
the easy took for granted things
Like going round his mum's house for some tea
And argues with his sister,
Only God knows how he missed her
it's the simple things that mean the most to him.
