Colin Hay - Beautiful World lyrics

rate me

My my my It's a beautiful world

I like swimming in the sea

I like to go out beyond the white breakers

Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)

I like swimming in the sea

My my my It's a beautiful world

I like drinking Irish tea

Oh with a little bit of lapsang souchong

I like making my own tea

My my my It's a beautiful world

I like driving in my car

Roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far

Drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars

I like driving in my car

All around is anger, automatic guns

It's death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones

I tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold

Said he'd been swamped by calls this week and he

could not shake his cold

And still this emptiness persists

Perhaps this is as good as it gets

When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes

Now I leave the party early at least with no regrets

I watch the sun as it comes up, I watch it as it sets

This is as good as it gets

Oh My my my It's a beautiful world

I like sleeping with Marie

She is one sexy girl full of mystery

She says she doesn't love me

But she likes my company

For now, that's good enough for me

My my my It's a beautiful world

I like swimming in the sea

I like to go out beyond the white breakers

Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)

I like swimming in the sea
