brighter sides to life

and if you must go to work tomorrow
(well, if I were you I wouldn't bother:
for there are brighter sides to life,
and I should know, because I've seen them;
but not very often)



"... I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine - it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams

Does the body rule the mind,
Or does the mind rule the body?
I don´t know ...

Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill? Oh ...
Am I still ill? Oh ...

Does the body rule the mind,
Or does the mind rule the body?
I don´t know...

Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die

And if you must go to work tomorrow
(Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother:
For there are brighter sides to life,
And I should know, because I've seen them;
But not very often ...

Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days

Am I still ill? Oh ...
Oh, am I still ill? Oh ..."

"Still Ill" by The Smiths
