| Came out of the gig
|
| Scooped some snow off a car
|
| Rubbed it into my face
|
| Isn’t it great to be alive?
|
| Isn’t it great to be alive?
|
| Eleven o’clock, a woman came out
|
| Told you to get off
|
| John steele stepped to the front
|
| Kissed her full on the mouth
|
| And martin said
|
| «Isn't it great to be alive?»
|
| Isn’t is great to be alive?
|
| Hollow and sad
|
| Drifting like ghosts through the crowds
|
| How can we come to terms
|
| With ordinary life again now
|
| Now that we’ve tasted something more?
|
| And if I can’t be with you
|
| This is the best my body can do
|
| Lying in a haze of you
|
| It’s the closest thing to being with you
|
| Showaddywaddy at the royal hall
|
| I had a crush on you
|
| Waiting with you by the phones
|
| So you could ring your man
|
| Sometimes it’s not that great to be alive
|
| Meeting you in Carmello to discuss my musical
|
| Drinking Skol at the fair
|
| Yes, you were there
|
| You were the first song that I ever wrote
|
| Isn’t it great to be alive?
|
| Isn’t is great to be alive?
|
| We hardly said a word on the way home
|
| When you feel like this, you might as well be alone |
| Tonight I don’t want a train or a bus
|
| I need to walk across this town
|
| Feel the rain on my face
|
| Sort these feelings out
|
| 'cause if I can’t be with you
|
| I don’t know what I’m going to do
|
| Except fill myself with thoughts of you
|
| It’s the closest thing to being with you
|
| Standing in the drizzle
|
| Skimming stones across the sea
|
| Salt water ruined my shoes
|
| And you laughed at me… |
