LYRICS

Please explain to me, the meaning of life
Is it worth more then the throw of a dice
I can agree when we were younger the life was nice
But today, the world is no paradise

Who decides who's to live and who's to die?
Ohh hell it ain't me so don't stand there and stare you blind
I am just the man who moves this question around
The regular answer, I stand on solid ground

Ref
I never wanted to say goodbye
Even though I acted like a wonderful guy
Doesn't matter if you act good from the birth
You'll never walk safe on this cold grounded earth

Now you all have a lesson to learn
I know it's hard to listen but you don't get disturbed
One promise I couldn't keep was enough to get me burned
Live your life as you want and you'll get what you earn

Ref
I never wanted to say goodbye
Even though I acted like a wonderful guy
Doesn't matter if you act good from the birth
You'll never walk safe on this cold grounded earth
You'll never walk safe on this cold grounded earth

  • @piscolabis16 Thank you so much. It means alot :)

  • Johan, Congratulations with your songs ! You have an amazing voice and you're a talented guitarist. Years I've been dreaming about a "come back" of the Dire Straits... Please bring back their quality and music !!! "Yes you can !" You're young and talented, "Choose your love and than love your choice !"

    (little detail about this song @ 4:08 some more sustain would be nice)

    A lot of respect and admiration from Belgium. (already a small fanclub over here ;-)

  • @SultanOfStrrring Hello! Thanks alot. That's very kind words of you, I will do my best to try to make my music heard, and if you find some Dire Straits influeences in it, I'm glad. I just want to say that the versions on youtube aren't the "official" ones that will be on my cd, I am recording new versions. Take care :-)

  • I just noticed some guy named rasnv was the first to comment ( although not many words) when you uploaded this 2 years ago; how long have you been friends?

  • @becksdollface Not 2 years so it's where it started ;) Discovering eachothers music. :-)
