Al Stewart
Life And Life Only

Mr. Willoughby, whose only luxury is the sugar in his tea
Teaches history at High Worthington School
His clothing has remained unnoticeably plain
His common room technique suitably restrained, though maybe too cool
Work done in the summery sun, see the cricket ball fly
Intently, like a strange demented bird towards the sun
Considering its flight, he pauses for a while
Ah, but Mr. Willoughby, we've never seen you smile
Tell me how come?
Ah well, sometimes it must get lonely
Ah, but it's life and life only

"Maurice," said Renee, "Why didn't you say that you'd be so late
The supper that I made is ruined again.
Is there anything you'd like?". "No, nothing", he replied
Standing by the stairs, not looking in her eyes, so stupidly male
All dark and lying in bed, "You've been with her again"
She blurts out, then turning on her side begins to cry.
At first he doesn't stir but then mumbling his words
He reaches for her hand, she shivers, but doesn't take it away
Ah, for sometimes it does get lonely
Ah, but it's life and life only.

Oh Smithy Smithers-Bell; clerk from Clerkenwell on the beach at
Bournemouth thinks he very well may be next year in France
Inspired for a while, he decides to risk a smile at Mr. Willoughby
Who passes, polishing his glasses, studiously averting his glance
Renee, several deckchairs away, wonders if they would be better
While Maurice is with the kids out in the sea
And I was feeling small, sitting on the wall
Looking at them all and wondering who will I be?
Ah, but sometimes it does get lonely
Ah, but it's life and life only

Ah, but it's life and life only
Ah, but it's life and life only
Ah, but it's life and life ...




Mirror lyrics:



Ah, but it's life and life ...
Ah, but it's life and life only
Ah, but it's life and life only

Ah, but it's life and life only
Ah, but sometimes it does get lonely
Looking at them all and wondering who will I be?
And I was feeling small, sitting on the wall
While Maurice is with the kids out in the sea
Renee, several deckchairs away, wonders if they would be better
Who passes, polishing his glasses, studiously averting his glance
Inspired for a while, he decides to risk a smile at Mr. Willoughby
Bournemouth thinks he very well may be next year in France
Oh Smithy Smithers-Bell; clerk from Clerkenwell on the beach at

Ah, but it's life and life only.
Ah, for sometimes it does get lonely
He reaches for her hand, she shivers, but doesn't take it away
At first he doesn't stir but then mumbling his words
She blurts out, then turning on her side begins to cry.
All dark and lying in bed, "You've been with her again"
Standing by the stairs, not looking in her eyes, so stupidly male
Is there anything you'd like?". "No, nothing", he replied
The supper that I made is ruined again.
"Maurice," said Renee, "Why didn't you say that you'd be so late

Ah well, sometimes it must get lonely

Work done in the summery sun, see the cricket ball fly
His common room technique suitably restrained, though maybe too cool
His clothing has remained unnoticeably plain
Teaches history at High Worthington School
Mr. Willoughby, whose only luxury is the sugar in his tea

Popular Songs:
happy in the meantime

nothing's gonna change my love

chasing the night

vivo en sueã±os

svettiga apor

come sundown

run around my head

so hard to forget

sing out! [bonus]

se la gente usasse il cuore

let me be

along the santa fe trail

yesterday

lovin' arms

love of my life

when you walk through me

photosynthesis

use your nose

look unto the east

mejor sin ti
