I've Never Been Short of a Smile |
As you know when the girl of your dreams |
Doesn’t seem to exist |
If you want my opinion then here’s what it is |
Don’t tell your wife she’ll kill ya |
And who knows maybe one day you’ll wake up |
And walk to the door |
Where’s she’s waiting impatient this daughter of yours |
Saying give me away dad will ya |
Try proving suicide is painless |
And who are those that claim this |
The only way to die and to die again |
As I recall I entertain an empty hall |
Doesn’t bother me in the slightest if a mirror’s cracked |
It could be that a missing screw is all it lacked |
I’ll walk under ladders but the funny thing is each time |
I do I go flying |
I’ve had moments when depression seemed the only cure |
Days when doubts were all about but now I’m sure |
Despite loosing battles that I know if I could win |
I’ve never been short of a smile |
As you know you can stand to attention while wiggling your toes |
It’s a breach of the rules but in boots I suppose |
You could be forgiven |
As you go into work on a Sunday |
You hazard guess wasn’t Sunday the one day |
We all used to rest |
I’ve never been short of smile |
You cannot have your cake and eat it |
But given a piece why keep it |
What purpose is being served |
If you leave it lying on a tray |
Only to be thrown away |
If invited to a party as a rule of thumb |
If there’s not a kitchen in it I won’t come |
I known that it’s boring but at least you don’t have to speak |
You just up the heat |
If there’s one good thing about me then it ought to be |
Even when I’m up against adversity |
Despite my misgivings on the shape that I’m in |
I’ve never been short of a smile |
(It's so easy to forget) (Every time you draw your breath) (Should be hung up |
on the wall) (A reminder to us all) |
That however much we moan |
All our lives we’ve only one to live |
To be or not to be what is it |
About this phrase that gives it |
A meaning so profound |
That if Shakespeare were here today |
I bet he’d throw it all away |
Doesn’t bother me the slightest if a cat is black |
It could be that a pot of paint had turned him that I’ll walk under ladders but |
the funny thing every time I do I go flying |
I’ve had moments when depression seemed the only cure |
Days when I was burning up now I’m sure despite my resentment of the pain I was |
in |
I’ve never been short of a smile |
