This Is the Life - The Futureheads

Hey

This is the life, sit back and lap it up

And it’s great to see a smile on your miserable face

Forget your troubles and strife, we sat down and made them up

Like the lines on the maps of the satellites up in space

It’s a breakthrough but I must warn you

It can feel very strange and you’ll never be the same

This is, this is, this is

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for

It’s what we’re celebrating for

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for

It’s what we’re celebrating for

Don’t be ashamed or afraid to help yourself

To a world made up of childhood fantasy

You don’t have to change, you don’t have to test yourself

But don’t act like a dog barking up the wrong family tree

It’s a breakthrough but I must warn you

It can feel very strange and you’ll never be the same

This is, this is, this is

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for

It’s what we’re celebrating for

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for

It’s what we’re celebrating for

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for

It’s what we’re celebrating for

This is the life, this is what you’ve been waiting for

It’s what we’re celebrating for
