Текст песни Beautiful World - Colin Hay

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free
Or a woman if you are one
I like swimming in the sea

Oh my, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like drinking Irish tea
With a little bit of Lapsang Souchong
I like making my own tea

Oh my, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like driving in my car
I'll roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far
And drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars
I like driving in my car

All around is anger
And automatic guns
It's death in large numbers
No respect for women or our little ones
I tried talking to Jesus
But He just put me on hold
Said, "He'd been swamped by calls this week
He could not shake His cold"

And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
You've given up the drink
And those nasty cigarettes
I leave the party early, at least with no regrets
I watch the sun as it comes up, I watch it as it sets
Yeah, this is as good as it gets

So my, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free
Or a woman if you are one
I like swimming in the sea
Yeah
