Oh if you love
the life you live
then you'll get
a lot more done
Be more inclined
to take the reins
and turn away and run
It's very rare
it seems to get
a lifetime guarantee
So I suppose
self satisfaction
be the key
Oh my father
is a wealthy
selfmade man
but his wealth
does not consist of
riches or acres of land
and instead he has
a family who are
his biggest fans
That's something
that I one day
hope to have
So I'll cherish
the simple things
the easy took for
granted things
like going round
my mum's house
for my tea
and argue with my sister
only God knows
how I missed her
It's the simple things
that mean the most to me
Ah he gets up
each day at five
and starts the car
and makes the drive
and shutters up
and starts the fryers
Serves out food
to all the buyers
in the town
as they stand
there in the
same old line
and get there
every day at the
same old time
No you're never gonna
hear him grumble and groan
'cause they're the people
in the line that he
built it on
and like me he
cherished the simple things
the easy took for
granted things
like going round
his mum's house
for his tea
and argue with his sister
only God knows
how he missed her
It's the simple things
that mean the most
to him
