Quiet Life Lyrics - Kinks

Something's happenin' but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye. 

If I see no evil, ask no questions, and I hear no lies. 

Can't communicate with minds that are small, 

With some people it's like talkin' to the wall 

And a fellow who walks away, 

Lives to battle another day. 

And I've really got no appetite 

For a fight, 

Not tonight. 

All I want is a quiet life. 

Anything for a quiet life. 

No ambition to rock the boat 

When I can just stay afloat.

Be content with a quiet life 

All I want is a quiet life. 

Anything for a quiet life. 

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil at all. 

Confidentially, between these walls, 

I'm on top of it all. 

I'd rather have 'em think I'm deaf, dumb, and blind 

Than aggravation every time I speak my mind 

Keep _________ at a quiet life. 

Anything for a quiet life. 

I could easily blow my top, 

Start a row, 

But why start now? 

Give your daddy a quiet life. 

Give your mother a quiet life. 

Anything for a quiet life.

Give your daddy a quiet life. 

Give your mother a quiet life. 

Anything for a quiet life. 

Confidentially, between these walls, 

I'm on top of it all.
