IGGY POP - Ordinary Bummer lyrics

rate me

lovely games of yesterday

have left me with my soul today

felicity flies out the door

when people lose their warmth

that's a very ordinary bummer

i'll hold out for summer days

stand and laugh and run

in a quiet movie of mine

i saw a girl with eyes like fire

i had to look away

she was swearing like a sailor

and demanding her own way

that was when i knew i had to love her

i opened up my sad old eyes

and let the feelings run

with a quiet beauty of mine

maybe sometimes we do bad things

and then other times we do good

and sometimes from something very bad

comes something very good

in a quiet year of mine
