Life gets in the way


Verse 1

Livings kind of fun I do it every day
Just breathing is a pleasure
For me it's the only way
I wake up in the morning
A sunrise greeting me
Then I have my breakfast
And make a pot of tea
I look out of my window
See the songbirds hard at play
But then I spy the postman
Bringing me Bills to pay
Credit cards, amenities
And other such obscenities
Fall to the ground in front of me
And as I sip my cup of tea
I turn a shade of grey
And realize rose tinted eyes
Won't make life go away

Chorus

Life gets in the way
It happens every day
I'm enjoying living
But life gets in the way

Verse 2

Those neighbours that I sometimes get
Who came through the gates of hell
The daily paper that I read, nothing but kiss and tell
My well meaning mother in law
Who Invites herself for tea
Then stays for Months not days or hours
And just lives to lecture me
That person I've met in my local bar
Who's done it all and can't be beaten
He's got the Rolex, the Porsche car
Has loads of cash and went to Eton
Bores me rigid makes my heart sink
Then taps me up for one more drink
As I down another whisky
I turn a shade of grey
And realize rose tinted eyes
Won't make life go away

Chorus

Life gets in the way
It happens every day
I'm enjoying living
But life gets in the way

Verse 3

The household chores, and office bores
That want to be my friend
Driving the car in the rush hour
Going slowly round the bend
Endless texts on my mobile
Written in a secret code
The extortionate garage fee
When my stranded car gets towed
Queuing at the bus stop
For the bus that never showed
I still try and enjoy the World
At leisure when I play
But realize rose tinted eyes
Won't make life go away

Chorus

Life gets in the way
It happens every day
I'm enjoying living
but life gets in the way

Verse 4

You may not have such problems
Your life may be a breeze
Walk around oblivious
Believe the moon is made of cheese
But if you do you're not alone
We all may feel this way
And realize rose tinted eyes
Won't make life go away

Chorus

Life gets in the way
It happens every day
I'm enjoying living
but life gets in the way
