Wouldn't It Be Good Lyrics

i got it bad
you don't know how bad i got it
you got it easy
you don't know when you got it good
it's getting harder
just keeping life and soul together
i'm sick of fighting
even though i know i should
the cold is biting
through each and every nerve and fibre
my broken spirit is frozen to the core
don't wanna be here no more

wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
even if it was for just one day
and wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

you must be joking
you don't know a thing about it
you've got no problem
I'd stay right there if it were you
i got it harder
you couldn't dream how hard it got it
stay out of my shoes
f you know what's good for you
the heat is stifling
burning me up from the inside
the sweat is dripping from each and every pore
don't wanna be here no more
don't wanna be here no more

wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
even if it was just for one day
and wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
wouldn't it be good to be on your side
the grass is always greener over there
and wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
without a care
without a care
without a care
without a care

First Post! This song is pretty epic if the Sheffield live version is anything to go by. The meaning is pretty evident from the lyrics.

so keen for new album... a few more days...

They sang this in London too, it was one of my favourite songs of the night! Was it just a one off thing? Or has it/will it actually be released? Cause I really love it, more so than the original. Can't wait for BFTS to come out either. :)

I think it will be released as a b-side. I heard the original, anything would be better than it.

yeahh it's on the 'for what it's worth' single

Where can I find it on the internet? Can I hear it through the official site or only from youtube (if there)?

Not sure if right, but this is my interpretation of the song meaning:

"i got it bad you don't know how bad i got it"

  • meaning he loves her but she don't love him back, which is always a sad situation.

"you got it easy you don't know when you got it good"

  • speaks for itself... It means she has the easier side of the relationship since she's the 1 receiving love.

"it's getting harder just keeping life and soul together"

  • I guess that just means he's struggling to stay with her when she don't love him back.. he feels like leaving

"i'm sick of fighting even though i know i should the cold is biting"

  • he's sick of fighting with her and doesn't want to, but he feels like he has to for some reason.

"through each and every nerve and fibre my broken spirit is frozen to the core don't wanna be here no more"

  • he's frozen in that time when their relation was good... But then he comes back to the current time and "doesn't wanna be there anymore" meaning he wants to commit suicide

wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes even if it was for just one day and wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

  • he wish he had it as easy as her, jus for one day

"you must be joking you don't know a thing about it you've got no problem..."

Meaning she doesn't understand how hard is for him since she isn't him... So it's probably best for her not to speak on it since she hasn't got the same same problem
