Beautiful World - 2009

(Colin Ray)

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 could not shake His cold
And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
Given up the drink and these nasty cigarettes
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 (a woman if you surf now)
I like swimming in the sea.
(fade) I like swimming in the sea....My My My

(Note: lapsang souchong is a type of Chinese smoked tea. You drink it..you don't smoke it. Colin Hay was lead singer of 80s group Men at Work)
