My my my, it�s a beautiful world
i like swimming in the sea
i like to go out beyond the white breakers
where a man can still be free,
or a woman if you are one
i like swimming in the sea
My my my, it�s a beautiful world
i like drinking irish tea
with a little bit of lap sang souchong
i like making my own tea
My my my, it�s a beautiful world
i like driving in my car
roll the top down,
sometimes i travel quite far
drive to the ocean
stare up at the stars
All around is anger, automatic guns
death in large numbers, no respect for woman, or our little ones
i tried talking to jesus, but he just put me on hold
said he�d been swamped by calls this week
and he could not shake his cold
And still this emptiness persists
perhaps this is as good as it gets
when you�ve given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
now i leave the party early at least with no regrets
i watch the sun as it comes up i watch it as it sets
yeah this is as good as it gets
My my my, it�s a beautiful world
i like sleeping with marie
she is one sexy girl full of mystery
she says she doesn�t love me, but she likes my company
for now that�s good enough for me
