Life

Des'ree

Mmm-mm, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh life, oh life

I'm afraid of the dark
'Specially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo

I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbit's tail
I'll take you up on a dare
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there
Bungee jumping, I don't care

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo
Life
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

So after all is said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun
If you really want to
Sometimes living out your dreams
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world
In a beautiful balloon

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Oh life, oh life

Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life

    General Comment"I don't wanna see a ghost
    It's the sight that I fear most
    I'd rather have a piece of toast
    Watch the evening news"

    --voted the worst lyrics in the history of songwriting in May 2006 by listeners of BBC Radio 6.

    General Comment^ I guess it was supposed to be that kind of simplistic piece of lyrics :P

    Song Meaning"I don't wanna see a ghost
    It's the sight that I fear most
    I'd rather have a piece of toast
    Watch the evening news"

    i think this simply means... she'd rather do something boring like watching the evening news..rather than see a ghost... just to interpret how scared she is of ghosts...

    General CommentI heard this song on the radio today for about the fiftieth time, I ALWAYS crack up laughing when I hear the 'piece of toast' line. Hilarious stuff XD

    I really don't see why people are saying it doesn't make sense...the ghost is simply a metaphor. Some people wanna have a risky life full of "action"...she'd rather have a boring life (toast, news etc) than having a dangerous life.
