This Is The Life

Amy Macdonald This Is The Life Lyrics
1.Mr Rock & Roll

So called mr rock n roll
he's dancing on his own again
talking on his phone again
to someone who tells him that his balance is low
he's got nowhere to go
He's on his own again.

Rock chick of the century
is acting like she used to be
dancing like there's no-one there
before she ever seemed to care
Now she wouldn't dare
it's so rock and roll to be alone

And they'll meet one day, far away and say
I wish I was something more
And they'll meet one day, far away and say
I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.


Mrs Black and white she's never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind, every single day
But now she's lost her way
and where does she go from here.

Mr multicultural sees all that one could see
He's living proof of someone very different to me
But now he wants to be free,
free so he can see

And they'll meet one day, far away and say
I wish I was something more
And they'll meet one day, far away and say
I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.

He'll say I wish I knew you
I wish I met you when time was still on my side
She'll say I wish I knew you
I wish I loved you before I was his bride.

And so they must depart two many more broken hearts
but I've seen that all before in TV books and film and more
And there's a happy ending, every single day.

And they'll meet one day, far away and say
I wish I was something more
And they'll meet one day, far away and say
I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.


2.This Is The Life

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So your heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the
size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?


3.Poison Prince

A poetic genius is something I don't see
why would a genius be trippin on me
And he's looking at me now
But what he can't see
Is that I'm looking through his eyes
So many lies behind his eyes
And tell me stories from your past
Sing me songs you wrote before
I tell you this my poison prince
You'll soon be knockin on heavens door

Some kinda poison prince with your eyes in a daze
Some kinda poison prince your life is like a maze
And what we all want, and what we all crave
is an upbeat song so we can dance..
The night away


Oh who said life was easy
who said life was fair
who said nobody gives a damn and nobody even cares
The way you're acting now like you left that all behind
You've given up, you've given in
Another sucker of that slime

Some kinda poison prince with your eyes in a daze
Some kinda poison prince your life is like a maze
And what we all want, and what we all crave
is an upbeat song so we can dance..
The night away


Some kinda poison prince with your eyes in a daze
Some kinda poison prince your life is like a maze
And what we all want, and what we all crave
is an upbeat song so we can dance..
The night away

5.Run

Will you tell me when the lights are fading
Cos I can't see I can't see no more
Will you tell me when the song stops playing
Cos I can't hear I can't hear no more

She said I don't know what you're living for
She said I don't know what you're living for at all
He said I don't know what you're living for
He said I don't know what you're living for at all

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for.


Will you tell me when the fighting's over
Cos I can't take I can't take no more
Will you tell me when the day is done
Cos I can't run I can't run no more

She said I don't know what you did it for
She said I don't know what you did it for at all
He said I don't know what you did it for
He said I don't know what you did it for at all

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for.

And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for.
