The Finer Things lyrics

It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again

Come down off your throne
And leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason
I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Well, I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own
And leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason
I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

Hey!
Well my temperature's rising
And my feet left the floor
Crazy people knocking,
'Cause they want some more.
Let me in baby,
I don't know what you got
You better take it easy.
This place is hot.

[Chorus]
And I'm
So glad we made it
So glad we made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' everyday.

Hey!
I feel so good
Everything is gettin' higher.

It's already written that today will be one to remember.
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law.

Had to cry today.
Well I saw your sign and I missed you there.

I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen.
You say you can't reach me but you want everyone to be free.

Had to cry today.
Well I saw your sign and I missed you there.

Well, my pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin' 'cause my time is all used up
Just sittin' 'round creatin' all that groovy kind of stuff

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

There were three men came out of the West,
Their fortunes for to try,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn must die.

Theyve ploughed, theyve sewn, theyve harrowed him in,
Threw clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn was dead.

Theyve let him lie for a very long time,
Till the rains from heaven did fall,

Keep on running,
keep on hiding,
one fine day I'm gonna be the one who make you understand
ohyeah!I'm gonna be your man
Keep on running,running from ma arms
one fine day I'm gonna be the one who make you understand
ohyeah!I'm gonna be your man
(hey,hey,hey!)
Everyone is talking about me,it makes me feel so bad!
(hey,hey,hey!)
Everyone just laughing at me,it makes me feel so sad!

Every time I see you
Girl, it makes me feel so sad
Knowing you've been seeing
Some other guy that treats you bad

You know that I'm burning
Deep inside for you
Just give me the chance now
And we can see it through

If you'll be my woman
I'll be your one and only man

Gonna take me with you
Far away from hearts of stone
We'll live in the country
And raise some children of our own

When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door, i'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll come and then slip away, you've gotta move, bring it back to stay

You just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby

Following the shadows of the skies,
Or are they only figments of my eyes?
And I'm feeling close to when the race is run.
Waiting in our boats to set sail.
Sea of joy.

Once the door swings open into space,
And I'm already waiting in disguise.
Is it just a thorn between my eyes?
Waiting in our boats to set sail.
Sea of joy.

Having trouble coming through,
Through this concrete blocks my view

While there is time
Let's go out and feel everything
If you hold me
I will let you into my dream
For time is a river rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can
And we'll drink our cup of laughter

The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be

Oh, I've been sad
And have walked bitter streets alone

If you see something that looks like a star
and it's shooting up out of the ground
and your head is spinning from a loud guitar.
And you just can't escape from the sound
don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys.

And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
of the low spark of high-heeled boys.

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
