Letra de Life’s For The Living (Anniversary Edition) - Passenger

(Feat. Foy Vance)

Well, grey clouds wrapped 'round the town like elastic

Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic

The boy laughed

Danced around in the rain

While laundrettes cleaned clothes

High heels rubbed toes

Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows

Dressed in their suits and their boots

Well, they all looked 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 off the wall

Yeah, 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

Or you're better off dead

Well, I'm sick of this town

This blind man's forage

They take your dreams down

And they stick 'em in the storage

You can have 'em back, son

When you've paid off your mortgage and loans

Ah, 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

'Til 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

So don't 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

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
