Start Living - Matt Monro

You wake up and be smart

You’ll never hear those drums while you twiddle with your thumbs

So, starting today, stop your work and find more time to play

Follow me and start living

Go polish up your grin, do some things you’ve never done

Start surprising everyone, when you start to glow

You’ll be the one that they all want to know

So have fun and start living

In one wild moment of madness, you can lose your sadness

So paint a smile upon your face, like a lawyer who has won the case

Go dress in style tonight, have some fun at any price

Order champagne on the ice

Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead

But you have just started living

In one wild moment of madness you can lose your sadness

So paint a smile upon your face, like Perry Mason when he’s won a case

Go dress in style tonight

Have some fun at any price

Order champagne on the ice

Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead

But you’ve just, now you’ve just, you’ve only just

Started living

Yes, you’ve started living

You’ve just started living
