"It's My Life" by Talk Talk
(one of my favorites from the 80s)
Funny how I find myself
in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you
commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends (It never ends)
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I'd tell myself
What good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends (It never ends)
I've asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
it never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
it never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
it never ends
Followed immediately by this:
"Getting Better" by The Beatles
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
You're holding me down, turning me round
Filling me up with your rules.
I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I't can't get no worse
I have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Me used to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can.
I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I't can't get no worse
I have to admit its getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better
It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can.
I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
It can't get no worse
Yes I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
Its getting better all the time
Better Better Better
Its getting better all the time
Better Better Better
Getting so much better all the time
The combination of these two songs, and singing them at the top of my lungs, makes me feel like I can face just about anything today. This is a beautiful thing.
