I NEVER KNEW WHAT A MAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

I NEVER WANTED THE RESPONSABILITY

I STILL REMEMBER WHAT THEY TRIED TO MAKE OF ME

THEY USED TO WONDER WHY

THEY COULDN?'T GET THROUGH ME

?'CAUSE ALL THAT I HAD WAS THIS MUSIC

A-COMING TO ME

AND ALL THAT I HAD WAS THIS RHYTHM

A-RUNNING THROUGH ME



I TOOK A TIP

FROM THE MAN FROM THE MINISTRY

HE SAID, "MY SON, BETTER WORK IN THE FACTORY"

WELL THERE WERE DAYS

I CAN TELL YOU QUITE HONESTLY

I SAW MYSELF WINDING UP IN THE MILITARY

SO LUCKY TO HAVE ALL, THIS MUSIC

A-COMING TO ME

I?'M LUCKY TO HAVE ALL THIS RHYTHM

A-RUNNING THROUGH ME

I?'M WATCHING THE MOVIE GO DOWN

GO DOWN ABOUT ME

I?'M WATCHING THE MERRY-GO ROUND

GO DOWN ABOUT ME



I SAW LOVERS, YOU?'RE NEEDED IN THE GARDEN

?'CAUSE THERE?'S A LOT OF CRAZY PEOPLE

WHO?'VE FORGOTTEN WHERE THEIR HEART IS

AND THEY DON?'T GIVE A DAMN

ABOUT HURTING THOSE FLOWERS AND THOSE TREES



C?'EST LE BON, SAILING ON AND ON

C?'EST LE BON, SAILING ON AND ON...



SOMETIMES I WONDER WHERE MY LIFE IS TAKING ME

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT THEY ALL EXPECT OF ME

WELL THERE ARE DAYS I CAN TELL YOU QUITE HONESTLY

I SEE MYSELF ENDING UP IN THE MONASTERY



?'CAUSE ALL THAT I HAVE IS THIS MUSIC

A-COMING TO ME

AND ALL THAT I HAVE IS THIS RHYTHM

A-RUNNING THROUGH ME

I?'M WATCHING THE MOVIE GO DOWN

AROUND ABOUT ME

I?'M WATCHING THE MERRY-GO-ROUND

GO DOWN ABOUT ME



I SAID "LOVERS, YOU?'RE NEEDED IN THE GARDEN

?'CAUSE THERE?'S A LOT OF CRAZY PEOPLE

WHO?'VE FORGOTTEN WHERE THEIR HEART IS

AND THEY DON?'T GIVE A DAMN

ABOUT HURTING THAT SMALL CHILD IN ME"



C?'EST LE BON, SAILING ON AND ON
