And I forgot to ring my mum again
C G C G
and life ain't good without cigarettes...
LYRICS:
Sometimes
They say that love is blind
But I think dumb is what they had in mind
I could let it go, but I'd rather know
If I sit around, will another show
Sometimes
I get to fly so high
That the sun burns my wings, but I will fly
Just a little too far, cause thats where you are
And I won't bring you down, believe in me
Sometimes
I like to sit around
and just contemplating sitting round
I could stay in bed, like my momma said
Don't just do something, sit around instead
Sometimes
If I may say myself
I'm not bad at life, I'm not good as well
And though life goes on, I can plainly see
Just what is it for, if its not for me ?
Sometimes
Though its a big surprise
I made compromise the thing I most desire
I can say with pride, hold my head up high
That I had a great Idea but nevermind.
Oh...babe...
I'm going nowhere, nowhere is where I wanna be
And I'm good for nothing
Nothing is good enough for me
Anything, anything can come to anybody
Everything, everything can come to someone, sometime
Oh, please..
I'm good for nothing.
Nothing is good enough for me.
Anything, anything can come to anybody
Everything, everything can come to somone, sometime
Sometimes
Opportunity passes right by me didn't even slow,
I can't breathe and think and I need a drink,
All this common sense made a fool of me.
Sometimes
I like to sit around
and just contemplating sitting round
I can stay in bed like my momma said
Don't just do something, sit around instead
Sometimes
I get to fly so high
That the sun burns my wings, but I will fly
Just a little too far, cause thats where you are
And I won't bring you down, believe in me
Sometimes
I get me all confused, and the resons why are confuseing too
I could be with you, try to sort it out
If I tell the truth, I like to lie about
Sometimes
Though its a big surprise
I made compromise the thing I most desire
I can say with pride, hold my head up high
That I had a great idea but nevermind.
Sometimes
I like to sit around
and just contemplating sitting round
Although life goes on, I can plainly see
All this common sense made a fool of me
I don't want to live but I can't resist
I got some reasons and I've made amends
I'm gonna drown before my ship comes in
And I forgot to ring my mum again
and life ain't good without cigarettes...
