lyrics

Hard Life

I know there’s some who would like to change place with me
Don’t think I don’t know about all of the jealousy
Take it from me, it's harder than it looks

I know there’s some who think money is a dirty word
They lie in bed and leave the pickings to the early bird
Take it from me, it's harder than it looks

It’s such a hard life
I know that’s not what it seems
It’s such a hard life
You just don’t know what work means
It’s such a full time occupation
You can never call your time your own

I ain't got time to worry where the money goes
You can't be mean when you’re being seen at every show
Take it form me, it's harder than it looks

It’s such a hard life
You’ve got to keep on the move
It’s such a hard life
You take the rough with the smooth
It’s such a full time occupation
And I work my fingers to the bone

I’m just a simple man
I do the best I can
No-one can take that much from me

I’m just a simple man
I do the best I can
No-one can take that much from me

I put it down to the politics of envy
I’d like to see them take the responsibility
Take it from me, it's harder than it looks

It’s such a hard life
I know that’s not what it seems
It’s such a hard life
You just don’t know what work means
It’s such a full time occupation
You can never call your time your own

It’s such a hard life
You’ve got to keep on the move
It’s such a hard life
You take the rough with the smooth
It’s such a full time occupation
And I work my fingers to the bone

It’s such a full time occupation
And I work my fingers to the bone

about

Planet Zyz Milton Keynes, UK

Planet Zyz isn't cool. That's because I'm not cool and Planet Zyz is just where music and stuff I'm involved with gets made and put out to the Big Wide World. Cottage Industry? Well, actually a Terrace-in-Milton-Keynes industry. Every album is different to the others, and none of them quite fit in with where all the Cool Stuff is. Outsider Art? This stuff is from a different planet. ... more
