Jetty Rae - Movies lyrics

rate me

More than anything I wish I could produce a smile

That is genuine, I've gotta stay genuine

More than life itself, I wish that life itself

Would pick me up by the belt

And sing me a happy song

'Cause it seems like those never last very long

And I get tired of people asking me what's wrong

More than anything I wish that I could make a cheerful toast

And mean it, and mean it

Wish that I could sing someone to sleep with lullabies

But I would only be singing them lies

So tell me, why is life so pleasant in the movies?

The girl gets the guy, the guy learns how to fly

And they fly off to the moon

Well I'm just wondering if that ships sailing soon

'Cause I've never, no I've never been to the moon

More than anything I wish I could speak my mind

And have it be nice, no but I won't be nice

More than a pack of new strings, I wish the songs that I would sing

Wouldn't reek of the blues and the minors

All the melancholy confiners

More than most I wish that most could see

That nothing comes from romantic fantasy

And I don't want hypocrisy I just want someone to want me for me

So I'll wait another day

In this state

Could slate the whole thing against me I'm sure, I'm sure

And I'll laugh and I'll cry on those lonely nights

Are better than getting in fights, aren't they?

So tell me why is life so pleasant in the movies?

The girl gets the guy, the guy learns how to fly

And they fly off to the moon

Well I'm just wondering if that ships sailing soon

'Cause I've never, no I've never been to the moon
