There's nothing like a quiet life
The kind that I've been leading
I stay indoors all day each night
Drinking, thinking, dreaming
It's strange out there,
I don't want to go out
There's nothing to know,
I can't read about
I've got my TV and a radio,
I might even switch them on
We'll see how it goes
There's nothing like a quiet life,
life's a life I'm leading
Staying here all day each night,
eating, sleeping, reading
It's too hot out there,
or maybe it's too cold
The weather in here,
well it does as it's told
The kettle's on and the bath is run
And while I'm DJ 'ing
Elvis is still young
Buses and cafes and people's dead faces
No, no thanks
Dog shit and children
and rude shop assistants
No, no thanks
This is Daryl, she wants to meet you
And Jimmy's in a band too
No, no thanks
Oh babe, I know it seems a bummer
But we're not due another summer
No, no thanks
It's strange out there
and it's safe in here
And I know this may sound weird,
my dear
I'm less alone when
I'm on my own
What's the point of going out
When we'll only end up
here at home
There ain't nothing like a quiet life,
this life that I was born to.
I can sit around for eternity,
cause I know that you'll be home soon.
you
