How Life Should Be (M.Pullan)

Part time work hard time wages
getting nowhere scan all the pages
look at every wanted, lost and found

You go for a walk fill in the time
you've a mountain to climb
and it's obscuring mine
sometimes it seems all in vain

You've a picture of me
bringing pearls from the sea
and deep down you know
how life should be
And when we awake
and both face the day
then you'll remember
how life should be

The room feels damp
without any heating
winter is coming
but you're still not eating
quite as well as you should

Rents keep rising
temperatures falling
you wish it was summer
but you get through the morning
dreaming of how life should be

You've a picture of me
bringing pearls from the sea
and deep down you know
how life should be
And when we awake
and both face the day
then you'll remember
how life should be

You've a picture of me
bringing pearls from the sea
and deep down you know
how life should be
And when we awake
and both face the day
then you'll remember
how life should be
