Colin Hay - Beautiful World

This song was again found on Scrubs and the title and artist from the soundtrack CD. I think Colin Hay is an extremley underated acoustic solo artist, and I hope people realise his talent and enjoy his music like me.

{Lyrics}
My, my, my it's a beautiful world,
I like swimming in the sea,
I like to go out beyond the white breakers,
Where a man can still be free, or a woman if you are one,
I like swimming in the sea

My, my, my it's a beautiful world,
I like drinking Irish tea,
With a little bit of Lapsang Souchong,
I like making my own tea

My, my, my it's a beautiful world,
I like driving in my car,
Roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far,
Travel to the ocean and stare up at the stars,
I like driving in my car

All around is anger,
Automatic guns,
Death in large numbers,
And no respect for women, or our little ones,
I tried talking to Jesus,
But he just put me on hold,
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week,
And he could not shake his cold

And still this emptiness persists,
Perhaps this is as good as it gets,
When you've given up the drink,
And those nasty cigarettes,
Now I leave the party early, at least with no regrets,
I watch the sun as it comes up, I watch it as it sets,
Yeah, this is as good as it gets

My, my, my it's a beautiful world,
I like sleeping with Marie,
She is one sexy girl, full of mystery,
She says she doesn't love me,
But she likes my company,
For now that's good enough, for me,

My, my, my it's a beautiful world,
I like swimming in the sea,
I like to go out beyond the white breakers,
Where a man can still be free, or a woman if you are one,
I like swimming in the sea,
yeah

so what if im the person to dislike ur video, the song is good but there is no film to it

[MattyTheBassist]

@thisnamehasntbeentuk I uploaded it so people can listen to the song. Some people like to make YouTube playlists and have it playing in the background whilst doing other things on or off the computer. We cant all afford (or want to pay) for a spotify subscription, so people use this. I'm happy because its a great song and almost everyone that visits this video is a nice person, and every gets along in the comments.

The first Video on Youtube with more than 10.000 Views and zero dislikes.
