The Proclaimers - Life With You (2008) by The Proclaimers (보컬) on maniadb.com

When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn't need a thing
I was strong as anything
I viewed solitude as a joy

But since I met you I'm distraught
You wandered in and now I'm caught
I never thought I would see
Someone so truly good
Someone who's so everything I'm not

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left to me
Without you in our home

But what if what if what if what
If it's not perfect then it's not
But every care I take
Nothing I won't forsake
To dwell beside what you've got

Every time I think about you
I think I can't live without you
I tell you something I am nothing without you

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left to me
Without you in our home

I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left to me
Without you in our home

Without you in our home

In Recognition of your 100 million album sales
In Recognition of your popularity
You take your gaudy prize from people you said you despised
You wear your self-respect upon your bended knees.

In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown, who likes put the crown
Before or after their name.

In Recognition of your service to the working class
In Recognition of your party loyalty
You get an ermine robe and you declare when you are probed
You only took it so the missus would be pleased

In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown, who likes put the crown
Before or after their names.

Ohhhhhh Vanity
It gets them one by one
Patronage and Monarchy
And all they entail, rarely fail

In Recognition of your bravery up on the stage
In Recognition of your bank ability
You get to wait in lines with soldiers crippled by land mines
And you think it's the yanks that don't get irony

In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown, who likes put the crown
Before or after their names.

In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown, who likes put the crown
Before or after their names.

Their name
Their name
Their name

Evidence of a new religion
I'll spare you the details
Effluent from a bloated business
With replica shirt sales
Two for the kids, one for the wife
Indicating a stunted life
Didn't know gullibility was so rife?
Well you do know now?

Evidence of a new rligion
Some hippy with a gripe
Strikes a blow with his census form
By summoning Star Wars tripe
Here's a thing I'd love to say
Lynndie England walks free today
If she'll only agree to play
With every Jedi Knight

An Lo! My faith it was honed
We can't be alone
Don't say we're alone

Give me ancestry that's inbred
Give me wit that's completely dead
Give me a zip for the back of my head
I want to join in too

Evidence of a new religion
Meeting a human need
fertiliser for the brain
Feeding the weakest seeds

You're a modern individual
With a mind that's strong and free
And it got you what you wanted
From the day you came to be

But when you got what you wanted
It could never quench your thirst
So you blamed the ones around you
For not warning you first

But now the ones around you
Are going and of no use
'Cuz as the last one vanishes
She takes the last excuse

There's no one left to blame
You're the cause of your pain

Love made you forget it
Love of every hue
A mother's love, a father's love
A lover's love, a child's love

But it came back again
And you felt like you'd lived through
An almighty deception
Designed just for you

But the almighty deception
Gives while you just take
It's living all around you
While you're holdin' its wake

There's no one left to blame
You're the cause of your pain

You blamed it on the market
For burdening you with wealth
You blamed it on the whisky
As if it poured itself

Dive into the mystic
So you don't have to think
Find another suspect
Find another shrink

There's no one left to blame
You're the cause of your pain
There's no one left to blame

There's no mystery
Not even the one that you see

There's no mystery
Not even the one that you see

There's no mystery
Not even the one that you see

Here he comes again
on the radio, another misogynist
calling her a bitch, calling her a whore
and then he'll use a big word,
use a big word some of the time
just to make it rhyme
just to make it rhyme.

Here it comes again
got to keep it real, another hymn to violence
suffocating joy, draining all ideals
another hymn to violence,
give me silence some of the time
just to make it rhyme
just to make it rhyme.

So words are thrown to waste,
and women are debased for fun
and as they start to sing
I can't help wondering
what we've become?

Oh, here it comes again,
on my new TV, another well-fed schoolboy
saying he's a man, but what kind of man,
puts down women, puts down women
all the time
just to make it rhyme,
just to make it rhyme?

Here it comes again, x4
on the radio,
calling her a bitch, x2
calling her a whore. x3

Here it comes again, x4
on the radio,
calling her a bitch, x2
calling her a whore. x3

Here it comes again. x10
radio/radios. x16
Here it comes again. x2

You need to harness pain
To raise yourself up again
You need to harness pain
And tell the truth about love

You need to break your heart
Before you can really start
You need to break your heart
And tell the truth about love


Then you need to set a goal that you can't reach
Then you have to attack defenses you can't breach
Then you need to lose and lose and lose again
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain
You harness pain

You need to take your doubts
And spread them all about
You need to face your doubts
To tell the truth about love

You know the cliche's wrong
Hatred is just as strong
You know it's just as strong
Just as strong as love

So you need to take your hate and doubt and fear
Distill them through your word 'til they run clear
'Til they run right through your heart like Highland rain
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain
You harness pain

Do you want to be the best or be well known?
Do you want to repeat lines or write your own?
Do you want to follow paths or blaze a trail?
When you try to succeed, You mostly fail
And you're gonna lose and lose and lose again
If you want to hold the flame
You harness pain
You harness pain

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
But she probably lives in Tahiti

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Carribean sea is blue
Weeping in a tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's told her 'bout you

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there're girls all over the world

Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Pining away in a heatwave there
Hoping that I won't be long

I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next of kin

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her

If there's a God
Where does He go to
When disease and hunger
Knock on the door?

And if there's a God
How does He decide
That she'll be born rich
But he'll be born poor?

I don't know
Can you tell me? Oh
Can you tell me? Oh

If there's a God
Why does He let
People die slowly
Racked by pain?

And if there's a God
Who blesses with children
Why does He steal
Some back again?

I don't know
Can you tell me? Oh
Can you tell me? Oh

If there's a God
Why is He letting
Violence and murder
Be done in His name?

But if there's no God
Why am I lying
Here in the dark
Saying his name?

I don't know
Can you tell me? Oh
Can you tell me? Oh

I don't know
Can you tell me? Oh
Can you tell me? Oh
