Life's For The Living Lyrics - All The Little Lights - Passenger

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 heals 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 it's 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 pigeon's 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 

 

Photos 

 

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
