these lyrics are really off.
heres the real ones if you want.
i got them off of gary jule's myspace, so im pretty confident in their reliability.
Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now
Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Sisyphus I feel you boy
Roll roll rolling that rock all day
No one lends a hand along the way
They just smile and say
"See you soon, see you soon, see you soon
See you when the war is over
See you when this gravity stops pulling me around
When I get my feet up off the ground
Finally lay this burden down
I'll come running"
Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about all my sinning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now
But you oh you
Never be lonely
Never blue
Ooh never be lonely
Never blue
There's poetry in sickness
Life is beautiful and cruel
That's just the way it is
And I can sleep but I can't rest
They say the old songs are the best
And I am still a young man
Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Everybody is a star . . . look it up.
everything in this song is pretty much straightfoward in its meaning, except i think, the part about Sisyphus. if your wondering, he is a greek mythology guy. according to ledgend he chained the god of death, Thanatos, so dead people couldnt reach the underworld. Hades intervened and Sisyphus was severely punished. for all eternity he was forced to roll a block of stone against a steep hill, which just tumbled back down when he reached the top. then the whole process would just keep repeating, lasting all eternity.
