Nothing is easy. Though time gets you worrying My friend, it's OK. Just take your life easy And stop all that hurrying, Be happy my way.
When tension starts mounting And you've lost count Of the pennies you've missed, Just try hard and see why they're not worrying me, They're last on my list. Nothing's easy.
Nothing is easy, you'll find That the squeeze won't turn out so bad. Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea, There's good times to be had. So if you're alone and you're down to the bone, Just give us a play. You'll smile in a while and discover That I'll get you happy my way Nothing's easy.
Took a sad song of one sweet evening I smiled and quickly turned away. It's not easy singing sad songs But still the easiest way I have to say. So when you look into the sun See all the things we haven't done -- Oh was it better then to run Than to spend the summer crying. Now summer cannot come anyway.
I had waited for time to change her. The only change that came was over me. She pretended not to want love -- I hope she was only fooling me. So when you look into the sun Look for the pleasures nearly won. Or was it better then to run Than to spend the summer singing. And summer could have come in a day.
So if you hear my sad song singing Remember who and what you nearly had. It's not easy singing sad songs When you can sing the song to make me glad. So when you look into the sun And see the words you could have sung: It's not too late, only begun, We can still make summer. Yes, summer always comes anyway.
So when you look into the sun And see the words you could have sung: It's not too late, only begun. Look into the sun.
My telephone wakes me in the morning -- Have to get up to answer the call. So I think I'll go back to the family Where no one can ring me at all. Living this life has its problems So I think that I'll give it a break. Oh, I'm going back to the family 'cos I've had about all I can take.
Master's in the counting house Counting all his money. Sister's sitting by the mirror -- She thinks her hair looks funny. And here am I thinking to myself Just wond'ring what things to do.
I think I enjoyed all my problems Where I did not get nothing for free. Oh, I'm going back to the family -- Doing nothing is bothering me. I'll get a train back to the city That soft life is getting me down. There's more fun away from the family Get some action when I pull into town.
Everything I do is wrong, What the hell was I thinking? Phone keeps ringing all day long I got no time for thinking. And every day has the same old way Of giving me too much to do.
Bright city woman Walking down Leicester Square everyday. Gonna get a piece of my mind. You think you're not a piece of my kind. Ev'rywhere the people looking. Why don't you get up and sing?
Bright city woman Where did you learn all the things you say? You listen to the newsmen on TV. You may fool yourself but you don't fool me. I'll see you in another place, another time. You may be someone's, but you won't be mine.
My first and last time with you And we had some fun. Went walking through the trees, yeah! And then I kissed you once. Oh I want to see you soon But I wonder how. It was a new day yesterday But it's an old day now.
Spent a long time looking For a game to play. My luck should be so bad now To turn out this way. Oh I had to leave today Just when I thought I'd found you. It was a new day yesterday But it's an old day now.
Well the dawn was coming, heard him ringing on my bell. He said, My name's the teacher, that is what I call myself. And I have a lesson that I must impart to you. It's an old expression but I must insist it's true.
Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun, no sense in sitting there hating everyone. No man's an island and his castle isn't home, the nest is full of nothing when the bird has flown.
So I took a journey, threw my world into the sea. With me went the teacher who found fun instead of me.
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed. I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was looking for, got something on my mind.
Then the teacher told me it had been a lot of fun. Thanked me for his ticket and all that I had done.
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed. I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was looking for, got something on my mind.
There was a time when you were so young and walked in their way. They made you feel they loved you all-seeing they say. You're going wrong if their game you don't play And that the song I sing will lead you astray.
Unfeeling, feel lonely rejection, Unknowing, know you're going wrong. And they can't see that we're just trying to be, And not what we seem, And even now believe that it's not real and only a dream.
Did you hear mother -- Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right. Did you hear father? Calling my name into the night. Saying I'll never be what I am now. Telling me I'll never find what I've already found. It was they who were wrong, And for them here's a song.
Did you hear baby -- Come back and tell you the things he's seen. Did it surprise you To be picked up at eight in a limousine? Doing the things he's accustomed to do. Which at one time it seemed like a dream Now it's true. And unknowing You made it all happen this way.
Did you hear mother -- Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right. Did you hear father? Calling my name into the night. Saying I'll never be what I am now. Telling me I'll never find what I've already found. It was they who were wrong And for them here's a song.
Singing all day, singing 'bout nothing. Singing all day, singing 'bout nothing. Singing all day, singing 'bout nothing, Oo, my, my, my, Oo, my, my, my.
Went down to the station to look for her there, Looked through the crowds for a glimpse of her hair, Nothing to see but the crowds keep a-staring at me, My, my, Oo, my, my, my.
Down in the street, try'n' to remember, Shuffling my feet outside a menswear, Is that her in the fur coat? No it's not December yet, My, my, my, Oo, my, my, my.
Singing all day, singing 'bout nothing.
Back to the house, maybe she'll phone me, Singing my song, feeling so lonely. I'll sing very softly, so if the phone rings I can hear it, I can hear it.
Singing all day, singing 'bout nothing. Singing all day, singing 'bout nothing. Singing all day, singing 'bout nothing, Oo, my, my, my, Oo, my, my, my.
Got to take in what I can. There is no time to do what must be done, While I do some thinking. Sleeping is hard to come by, So we'll all sit down and try to play in time, and we feel like singing. Talking to people in my way.
Blues were my favorite colour, til I looked around and found another song that I felt like singing. Trying so hard to reach you; playing what must be played, what must be sung and it's what I'm singing. Talking to people in my way.
All the places I've been make it hard to begin To enjoy life again on the inside, but I mean to. Take a walk around the block And be glad that I've got Me some time to be in from the outside, And inside with you.
I'm sitting on the corner feeling glad. Got no money coming in but I can't be sad. That was the best cup of coffee I ever had. And I won't worry about a thing because we've got it made, Here on the inside, outside so far away.
And we'll laugh and we'll sing Get someone to bring Our friends here for tea in the evening Old Jeffrey makes three...
Take a walk in the park, Does the wind in the dark Sound like music to you? Well I'm thinking it does to me.
Can you cook, can you sew? Well, I don't want to know. That is not what you need on the inside, To make the time go.
Counting lambs, counting sheep We will fall into sleep And awake to a new day of living, And loving you so.
Once it seemed there would always be A time for everything. Ages passed I knew at last My life had never been. I'd been missing what time could bring.
Fifty years and I'm filled with tears and joys I never cried. Burn the wagon and chain the mule. The past is all denied. There's no time for everything.
Flying so high, trying to remember how many cigarettes did I bring along? When I get down I'll jump in a taxi cab driving through London town to cry you a song.
It's been a long time still shaking my wings. Well, I'm a glad bird I got changes to ring.
Closing my dream inside its paper-bag. Thought I saw angels but I could have been wrong. Search in my case, can't find what they're looking for Waving me through to cry you a song.
It's been a long time still shaking my wings. Well I'm a glad bird I got changes to ring.
Lights in the street, peeping through curtains drawn. Rattling of safety chain taking too long. The smile in your eyes was never so sweet before Came down from the skies to cry you a song.
