آهنگ: Colin Hay. Going Somewhere. Beautiful World.

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 Lapsang 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

travel to the ocean and stare up at the stars

i like driving in my car



all around is anger

automatic guns

death in large numbers

and no respect for women 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

says she doesn't like me

but she likes my company

for now that's good enough for me



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

yeah
