Beautiful world

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.
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.
My my my it´s a beautiful world
I like driving in my car
Roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far
Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars
I like driving in my car
All around is anger 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
And He couldn´t shake His cold
And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
When you´ve given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Now 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.
My my my it´s a beautiful world
I like sleeping with Marie
She is one sexy girl full of mystery
She says she doesn´t love me but she likes my company
For now that´s good enough for me
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.
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.
My my my it´s a beautiful world
I like driving in my car
Roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far
Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars
I like driving in my car
All around is anger 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
And He couldn´t shake His cold
And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
When you´ve given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Now 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.
My my my it´s a beautiful world
I like sleeping with Marie
She is one sexy girl full of mystery
She says she doesn´t love me but she likes my company
For now that´s good enough for me
