    Life's For The Living Lyrics:
    Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
    Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
    The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
    While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heels rub toes
    Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
    Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
    I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
    And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
    Don't you cry for the lost
    Smile for the living
    Get what you need and give what you're given
    Life's for the living so live it
    Or you're better off dead
    While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
    Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
    We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
    While pigeons pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
    The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
    And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
    And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
    Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
    With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
    Don't you cry for the lost
    Smile for the living
    Get what you need and give what you're given
    Life's for the living so live it
    Or you're better off dead
    Well I'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
    They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
    You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
    Oh hell with this place, I'll go it my own way
    I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
    Someday someone must be going my way home
    Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
    With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
    And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
    Don't you cry for the lost
    Smile for the living
    Get what you need and give what you're given
    You know life's for the living so live it
    Or you're better off dead
    Don't you cry for the lost
    Smile for the living
    Get what you need and give what you're given
    Life's for the living so live it
    Or you're better off dead

    I'm 64 still into my music, usually the old stuff. This bloke comes to my attention, fantastic, this man is beautiful, that voice !. Not too old to learn. Drunk and broken hearted got me first time I listened. Beautiful. X

    A true poet and brilliant at writing brutally honest lyrics that always portray the true essence of life. He is a rare gem in today's music industry, his songs always satisfy the soul and heart. A true INFP - always staying true to himself.

    They take your dreams down and stick them in storage,
    You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans. That is the best lyric I have heard. What a song.

      It's an analogy. "Bus Stop Crows" are people in their black workclothes. They're the sad business-people whose lives go against the way of life portrayed in the song.
