Long Life - Dodgy

Jack you’ve spreading round for so long, now I’m so tired

The only thing you can go and do is get yourself fired

And with your pay cheque, just like the last one

When tonight’s through it will be gone and so will I

This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through

I’ve had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you

Tell me am I dreaming as I look around

We can’t afford a descent life for those with their feet on the ground

I feel it my duty to try and pass it on

This wisdom I’ve acquired.

I understand the nature of life

As well as any soul left living

As well as any man still alive

You said there’s an answer for a hundred years or two

It came in a dream one night, wisdom only comes to a few

This is been a long life now mine is nearly through

And if I’d have the my again, I’d spend it all with you

I feel it my duty to try and pass it on

This wisdom I’ve acquired.

I understand the nature of life

As well as any soul left living

As well as any man still alive

Dreams exist in dreamland, my passion fails to show

My eyes no longer sparkle, desire begins to slow

Comfort peace slips beyond my imagination

It’s your life they demand for little appreciation

It’s all well and good when it’s understood, we can beat them if we try

It’s all well and good when it’s understood, we can beat them if we try

This is been a long life, now mine is nearly through

I’ve had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you

This is been a long life now mine is nearly through

And if I’d have my time again I’d spend it all with you

Everyone will be together to hear the word to the wise
