When you’re chewing on life’s gristle  
Don’t grumble, give a whistle  
And this’ll help things turn out for the best

And always look on the bright side of life  
Always look on the light side of life

He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK  
He sleeps all night and works all day

I cut down trees, I skip and jump  
I like to press wild flowers  
I put on women’s clothing  
And hang around in bars

Burning, looting, raping, shooting,  
Burning, looting, raping, shooting,  
A burning, looting, raping and a shooting,  
Burning, looting, raping and a shooting,  
All this I’d do I’ll kill for you.

Good night to these wretched forms  
All them gray eyes on the subway  
So long before you were born  
You were always to be a dagger floating  
Straight to their heart

Shot through the heart  
And you’re to blame  
You give love a bad name (bad name)  
I play my part  
And you play your game  
You give love a bad name (bad name)

You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name  
It felt good to be out of the rain  
In the desert you can remember your name  
'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain  
La, la, la la la, la la  
La la la, la, la…

Then sigh not so,  
But let them go,  
And be you blithe and bonny,  
Converting all your sounds of woe  
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.

Darling, if you ever leave me,  
I’ll cry a million tears  
And go to the nearest boozer  
And drink ten pints of beer

I`ve got all sleep secrets hidden in my bag  
But a lot are leaving 'cos they’re not believing  
That you could ever do that thing  
And never bring yourself to sing

And the nurse will tell you lies  
Of a kingdom beyond the skies  
But I am lost within this half-world  
It hardly seems to matter now  
Play me my song, here it comes again  
Play me my song, here it comes again

You’ll seek it, it’ll take a while  
You’ll seek this, if it’s a thousand miles  
Take what fate brings, eternal and desire  
I’ll change those faces, then I take their smile

This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost

Silent Scream  
Bury the unwanted child.  
Beaten and torn  
Sacrifice the unborn.
