paroles de chanson The Better Idea - It's Immaterial

It's a little bleak 'round here
I was down on the dock
The day the talking turned
To those who have and have not
And the ones who live and never learn

Raining
So hard
So hard
So hard

It used to be busy down here then
Some of the older ones can remember the better idea
Lord, how the young are headstrong

Raining
So hard
So hard
So hard

There was quite a number of us originally
The idea was to make a go of things
But the weaker ones dropped out

Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
And if the sea gets rough there's no second chance
Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
And if the sea gets rough there's no second chance

Yes I live down here on the dock
I've seen them go and come
They say the rats leave the ship
I've witnessed them get on

Raining
So hard
So hard
So hard

Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
And if the sea gets rough there's no second chance
Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
And if the sea gets rough there's no second chance

It doesn't seem that long ago
When everybody was in work and no-one was short
But now it's a crime and a criminal waste
The way friends can't turn around
And look in each others face

Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
And if the sea gets rough there's no second chance
Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
And if the sea gets rough there's no second chance

Yes I remember the day we first arrived
We knew the weather was going to be tough
And it would be hard to survive

Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind
Push the boat out and dance, we'll stay behind

Lord, lord how it rained
Lord, lord how it rained
Lord, lord
How it rained
