A Simple Life Songtext
von Pauline Taylor

You said that life was hard enough as it is
From the time we open our eyes
It's a dangerous sport
And we figured it was all about sex and death
Sat there bigging up ourselves and feeling smug

Notices the creases and the cracks in the plan
How the surest of the surest can slip through our hands
Now we can't afford to think about it any longer
Need some water and some bed rest for a hangover cure

And I want it easy on the senses
We want it easy on the eye
Easy to be questioned
Easy to reply

Easy on the senses
We want it easy on the eye
Easy to be questioned
Easy to reply


There's so much that I don't know and I never will
Sometimes to learn something
You have to lose something else
But I know every inch of your skin
The dimples, the aches, the pains, and the sins

You said I run from confrontation
Don't want to face my demons
They might give me what for

I'm sure that I'm not different
From anyone else
I want love and understanding
And a place to grow old

And I want it easy on the senses
We want it easy on the eye
Easy to be questioned
Easy to reply

Easy on the senses
We want it easy on the eye
Easy to be questioned
Easy to reply

All of the answers are probably in you and me
But all I want right now is hours of T.V.
And on Saturdays I only want to dance
And squeeze out every Sunday to the last


I'm sure that I'm not different from anyone else
I want love and understanding
And a place to grow old

And I want it easy on the senses
We want it easy on the eye
Easy to be questioned
Easy to reply

Easy on the senses
I want it easy on the eye
Easy to be questioned
Easy to reply

I want it easy
