Dear Noel... I showed this to my students ( I am a teacher in the countryside.) they indeed have horses and plows, chickens and cows. They loved it, but when he got to "a country where the verb to work becomes a most improper noun" they said "he doesn't know what he's talking about."
When I'm feeling weary and blue, I'm only too Glad to be left alone Dreaming of a place in the sun when day is done far from a telephone Hardly ever see the sky Buildings seem to grow so high give me somewhere peaceful and grand where all the land slumbers in monotone I'm world weary living in a great big town I find it so dreary so dreary everything looks grey or brown I want an ocean blue great big trees bird's eye view of the Pyrenees I wanna watch the moon rise up see the great red sun go down watching clouds go by through a windy sky fascinates me but if i do it in the street every cop I meet simply hates me Bc I'm World Weary World Weary tired of all these jumping jacks I wanna get right back to nature and relax I'm world weary living in a great big town I find it so dreary, so dreary I want a horse and plow, chickens too just one cow with a wistful moo A country where the verb ""to work"" becomes a most improper noun I can hardly wait till i see the great open spaces my loving friends will not be there I'm so sick of their darn fool faces because I'm world weary I could kiss the railroad tracks I wanna get right back to nature assume a horizontal stature

"Like This" is an understatement. I Love This!
Wow my life in song. Written 30 years before I was born.
This is beautiful!
Great upload. Thank you
absolutely delightful
Love Noel Cowards humor in his music
I would pay serious money for a movie with Ben Kingsley as Noel Coward.
You and me both, Noel.

He's saying he wants to live in a world where we don't work and where working is a improper way of life
amazing
I totally get it. And now more than ever before.
What a treasure…
When I'm feeling weary and blue, I'm only too
Glad to be left alone
Dreaming of a place in the sun when day is done
far from a telephone
Hardly ever see the sky
Buildings seem to grow so high
give me somewhere peaceful and grand where all the land
slumbers in monotone
I'm world weary living in a great big town
I find it so dreary so dreary
everything looks grey or brown
I want an ocean blue
great big trees
bird's eye view of the Pyrenees
I wanna watch the moon rise up
see the great red sun go down
watching clouds go by through a windy sky fascinates me
but if i do it in the street every cop I meet simply hates me
Bc I'm World Weary World Weary
tired of all these jumping jacks
I wanna get right back to nature and relax
I'm world weary living in a great big town
I find it so dreary, so dreary
I want a horse and plow, chickens too
just one cow with a wistful moo
A country where the verb ""to work""
becomes a most improper noun
I can hardly wait till i see the great open spaces
my loving friends will not be there I'm so sick of their darn fool faces
because I'm world weary
I could kiss the railroad tracks
I wanna get right back to nature
assume a horizontal stature
Genius
That song reminds me the movie the aviator
I know this from a record. Never saw him sing it.
Ennui is a major factor today as then.
