Quiet Life Lyrics
Boys, now the times are changing
The going could get rough
Boys, would that ever cross your mind?
Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere?
Boys, will you ever find the time?
Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same
Beware, here comes the quiet life again
Boys, now the country's only miles away from here
Boys, do you recognize the signs?
Boys, when these driving hands push against the tracks
Boys, it's too late to wonder why
Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same
Beware, here comes the quiet life again
As you turn to leave
Never looking back
Will you think of me?
If you ever, could it ever stop?
The going could get rough
Boys, would that ever cross your mind?
Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere?
Boys, will you ever find the time?
Somehow it seems the same
Beware, here comes the quiet life again
Boys, do you recognize the signs?
Boys, when these driving hands push against the tracks
Boys, it's too late to wonder why
Somehow it seems the same
Beware, here comes the quiet life again
Never looking back
Will you think of me?
If you ever, could it ever stop?

it has been proposed that the lyrics refer the band members and simon napier-bell, with the manager being the narrator of the song
Makes sense. Before 'Quiet Life' the band was still hanging on to the the glam rock styles of the early 70s. Check out this clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnP0mUMx5DM

brilliant song. love it.
I've just sussed out what the song's about. Heroin addiction. Or maybe drug addiction in general.... It's about the choice; getting away from it all...the city and the drugs, or staying put and wasting away to the drugs. "Boys, when these driving hands push against the tracks Boys, it's too late to wonder why" "tracks" are the scars left by previous jabs!
