This Is Your Life

Let's have a guilty party

Come as you are this year

Colour your perfect stranger

Rainbows are made out of tears

 

Life is a rare disorder

Can't get your heart insured

Two falmes at every candle

Red shows still asking for more

 

From party to party

And stranger to stranger

A tattoo of bluebirds,

A shipwreck, an angel

The darker the pain,

The more stars in the night

For a child on the beach,

In the rain, singing...

 

This is your life

 

This carousel, this is your life

Man and woman spin the knife

There ain't much time

To get up a head of steam

Shakin' the crumbs out of a bed of dreams

Love gets in your eyes

 

This is your life, this is your life

 

Promised a quiet crossing

Promised the great excape

Promised a go at Heaven

Hell of a queue at the gate

 

Suspected of moonlight

Convicted of laughter

Alone on the hill

With your soul well gone after

When all's said and done

Water's sweeter than wine

Just one go down the slide

For the ride of your life

 

Way to go... this is your life

Man and woman spin the knife

There ain't much time

To get up a head of steam

Shakin' the crumbs

Out of a bed of dreams

Love gets in your eyes

This is your

 

Lesson bell

This is your life

Man and woman spin the knife

There ain't much time

To get up a head of steam

Shakin' the crumbs

Out of a bed of dreams

Love gets in your eyes

 

This is your life, this is your life

 

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor

Rich man, poor man,

Beggarman, thief
