This Life - Josef Salvat

Hey, hey, hey, eh eh eyy

Let me get straight to it,

I’ve bit off more than I could chew

I felt the sting and slap of failure missed my due

Like a hard knife, cutting through a slice

Of ego of ambition yeah put me off my mission,

I’ve been wandering alleys in a dirty shirt,

Taking this and that ’cause I had so much hurt,

I’m not plying you with liquor

For you tongue to get a flicker

I just need to tell my story

If you’re drunk I’ll get done quicker.

Hey hey gotta keep the hope up

Gotta keep your eye on the prize

Hey hey gotta keep the highs up,

I’m an optimist of the most dangerous kind

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life.

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life.

Let me get straight to it,

There’s more explaining I could do

But I am here just for diversion

As are you

Don’t mean to jump the gun,

But we could have some fun

There’s little sense in dishing

Since I’ve noticed you’re not listening

I’m feeling fairly lucky

I’ve been surfing shadows of success in my dreams,

And yes I know my guard’s down

But I don’t mind if you, see.

Hey hey gotta keep the hope up

Gotta keep your eye on the prize

Hey-hey gotta keep the highs up,

I’m an optimist of the most dangerous kind

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life.

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life.

This life, this life, this life...

Hey, hey, hey, eh eh eyy

Hey, hey, hey, eh eh eyy

There is more to this life,

I must believe there is more to this life

There is more to this life.

I must believe there is more to this life
