Lyrics This Is the Life - The Futureheads

This Is the Life

Hey
This is the life, sit back and lap it up
And it’s great to see a smile on your miserable face
Forget your troubles and strife, we sat down and made them up
Like the lines on the maps of the satellites up in space
It’s a breakthrough but I must warn you
It can feel very strange and you’ll never be the same
This is, this is, this is
This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for
This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for
Don’t be ashamed or afraid to help yourself
To a world made up of childhood fantasy
You don’t have to change, you don’t have to test yourself
But don’t act like a dog barking up the wrong family tree
It’s a breakthrough but I must warn you
It can feel very strange and you’ll never be the same
This is, this is, this is
This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for
This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for
This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for
This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for
It’s what we’re celebrating for
