Kevin Coyne - The Way Of The World Lyrics

That’s the way of the world (4 x)

It goes up and down like that, can’t help itself.
It swivels and bounces. Fluctuates.
Looking through cracked windows at the street,
hearing the sound of tapping feet.
Somebody above me is making a noise.
Naughty girls and naughty boys.

I’m living and unemployed, no work at all,
I toy with the idea of doing away with myself,
but I change my mind every day
I change my mind every day
I change my mind every day
Every day. (7 x)

That’s the way of the world (4 x)

You look at me now and I’m looking at you across the restaurant table.
Across by the sauce bottles, over the salt and the vinegar.
You’re looking at me and looking rather sour,
You’ve been looking like that for the past half-hour.
You want to ask me who I am, but I don’t know,
and you certainly don’t know me.

I wonder, I wonder should I change the way I am?
I wonder, I wonder should I change the way I am?

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder. That’s the way of the world.
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder. That’s the way of the world.

Here comes the sunlight. Make another start.
Here comes the sunlight. I’ll make another start.
Here comes the sunlight. Got to make another start.
Here comes the sunlight. I’ll make another start.

That’s the way of the world (8 x)
