You’ve been getting drunk and telling people plans
Their response so far is somewhere short of grand
Smile please, smile please
You’re unemployed and life is mostly unenjoyed
It’s hard to come by laughs and friends you just avoid
Smile please, smile please

Smile please
I don’t feel like it
While the breeze
Blows I’ll be like it

It would be nice to sleep, to switch off would be bliss
Awake at night’s not right you’d love to get some rest
Smile please, smile please
Where is your life, your joy, your appetite for love
Got to find it, let it lead you to rebirth
Smile please, smile please


Smile Please

Insomniac Jack

sailing off into the sunset
never getting anywhere 
searching for the rainbows end
always seem to find another one

like a hamster on a wheel 
round and round and round and round
working out how you feel
up and down and up and down

all the while the world is turning
today into yesterday
in one hundred years from now 
who’ll remember anyway

hear the waves beat on the shore
the sound becomes a new silence
no longer question what its for
as you reach a sort of acceptance
