[Absolute Beginners Soundtrack]
|
|
Something's happenin' but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye.
|
If I see no evil, ask no questions, and I hear no lies.
|
Can't communicate with minds that are small,
|
With some people it's like talkin' to the wall
|
And a fellow who walks away,
|
Lives to battle another day.
|
And I've really got no appetite
|
For a fight,
|
Not tonight.
|
|
All I want is a quiet life.
|
Anything for a quiet life.
|
No ambition to rock the boat
|
When I can just stay afloat.
|
|
Be content with a quiet life
|
All I want is a quiet life.
|
Anything for a quiet life.
|
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil at all.
|
Confidentially, between these walls,
|
I'm on top of it all.
|
|
I'd rather have 'em think I'm deaf, dumb, and blind
|
Than aggravation every time I speak my mind
|
Keep _________ at a quiet life.
|
Anything for a quiet life.
|
|
I could easily blow my top,
|
Start a row,
|
But why start now?
|
|
Give your daddy a quiet life.
|
Give your mother a quiet life.
|
Anything for a quiet life.
|
|
[Instrumental section]
|
|
Give your daddy a quiet life.
|
Give your mother a quiet life.
|
Anything for a quiet life.
|
Confidentially, between these walls,
|
I'm on top of it all.
