Life's For The Living Lyrics:
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heels rub toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
While pigeons pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Well I'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
Oh hell with this place, I'll go it my own way
I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
Someday someone must be going my way home
Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
You know life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead

The rhythm alone is enough to satisfy the soul and mind

[@malcolmdelargy2667]

I'm 64 still into my music, usually the old stuff. This bloke comes to my attention, fantastic, this man is beautiful, that voice !. Not too old to learn. Drunk and broken hearted got me first time I listened. Beautiful. X

[@marusam6810]

A true poet and brilliant at writing brutally honest lyrics that always portray the true essence of life. He is a rare gem in today's music industry, his songs always satisfy the soul and heart. A true INFP - always staying true to himself.

[@hakeemwangara5056]

The vibes this song gives is that of soldiers celebrating their dead comrades around a campfire.💯💯

[@thaiklwawn4943]

"Life would be a mistake without music , " Nietzsche.
This is the kind of music we need for life.

[@i.k.dorgbetor114]

They take your dreams down and stick them in storage,
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans. That is the best lyric I have heard. What a song.

I am not mad at you. I am really tired. I hope I will see you someday on this side of the veil. I love you. I think I will lie back down now. Be good to you.

Bus Stop Crows? Bus Stop Crowds!

[@clintong8649]

Yup its Crows

[@groundhoggy]

It's an analogy. "Bus Stop Crows" are people in their black workclothes. They're the sad business-people whose lives go against the way of life portrayed in the song.
