Well I'll sing you the story of a sorrowful lad |
| [00:08.09] |
Had everything he wanted, didn't want what he had |
| [00:11.04] |
He had wealth and pelf and fame and name and all of |
| [00:13.11] |
That noise |
| [00:14.15] |
But he didn't have none of those simple joys |
| [00:17.16] |
His life seemed purposeless and flat |
| [00:22.49] |
Aren't you glad you don't feel like that? |
| [00:27.50] |
So he ran from all the deeds he'd done, he ran from |
| [00:29.25] |
Things he'd just begun |
| [00:30.77] |
He ran from himself, now that's mighty far to run |
| [00:33.17] |
Out into the country where he played as a boy |
| [00:36.31] |
He knew he had to find him some simple joys |
| [00:39.57] |
He wanted someplace warm and green |
| [00:45.21] |
We all could use a change of scene |
| [00:53.57] |
Sweet summer evenings, hot wine and bread |
| [00:59.03] |
Sharing your supper, sharing your bed |
| [01:04.54] |
Simple joys have a simple voice: |
| [01:06.74] |
It says why not go ahead? |
| [01:09.32] |
And wouldn't you |
| [01:10.42] |
Rather be a left-handed flea |
| [01:12.41] |
A crab on a slab at the bottom of the sea |
| [01:15.36] |
Than a man who never learns how to be free |
| [01:18.08] |
Not 'til he's cold and dead |
| [01:20.84] |
|
| [01:29.54] |
And wouldn't you |
| [01:30.54] |
Rather be a left-handed flea |
| [01:33.04] |
A crab on a slab at the bottom of the sea |
| [01:35.94] |
A newt on the root of a banyan tree |
| [01:38.35] |
Than a man who never learns how to be free |
| [01:41.59] |
Not till the day he dies! |
| [01:44.30] |
|
| [01:45.74] |
Sweet summer evenings, sapphire skies |
| [01:51.28] |
Feasting your belly |
| [01:53.71] |
Feasting your eyes |
| [01:56.89] |
Simple joys have a simple voice: |
| [01:59.14] |
It says time's a living prize |
| [02:01.57] |
And wouldn't you |
| [02:02.67] |
Rather be a left-handed flea |
| [02:04.76] |
A crab on a slab at the bottom of the sea |
| [02:07.60] |
A newt on the root of a banyan tree |
| [02:10.19] |
Or a fig on a twig in Galilee |
| [02:13.38] |
Than a man who never learns how to be free |
| [02:15.99] |
Not till the day he |
| [02:17.01] |
Not till the day he |
| [02:18.34] |
Not till the day |
| [02:19.18] |
Not till the day he |
| [02:24.22] |
Dies! |
