Life Lyrics

Life's about as wonderful as a record mart
I don't like selling albums
But I don't wanna go to work.
Life's about as wonderful as a record mart
I haven't got any money
that's why I'm selling albums!

Life's about as wonderful as a cold
Life's about as wonderful as growing old
Life's about as wonderful as a tramp lying dead in the road
Life's about as wonderful...

Life's about as wonderful as a dole queue
I don't like standing still
With the tramps and layabouts.
Life's about as wonderful as a dole queue
But I've got no choice
That's why I'm standing in a queue.

Life's about as wonderful as a cold
Life's about as wonderful as growing old
Life's about as wonderful as a tramp lying dead in the road
Life's about as wonderful...

Life's about as wonderful as no electricity
I don't like acoustics
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Life's about as wonderful as no electricity
I make out it's poetry
That's why I'm screamin' at ya.

Life's about as wonderful as a cold
Life's about as wonderful as growing old
Life's about as wonderful as a tramp lying dead in the road
Life's about as wonderful...

Life's about as wonderful

ad lib end

Cover art for Life lyrics by Alternative TV

Great song, one of the best pop tunes of the punk rock era. Spun this one quite a bit when I was a DJ in a Chicago punk club. It only took 35 years, but thanks to the internet, I now know all the lyrics. I used to think they were saying something like "a tiger lying dead in the road" and a "dull queue."
