Lyrics: The Importance Of Being Idle

I sold my soul for the second time
Cos the man, he don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said “Son, the bills waiting”

My best friend called me the other night
He said “Man, are you crazy?”
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said “boy, you lazy”

But I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
You cant get a life if your hearts’ not in it

I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I cant get a life if my hearts’ not in it

I lost my faith in the summertime
Cos it don’t stop raining
The sky all day’s as black as night
But I love complaining

I begged my doctor for one more line
He said “Son, words fail me”
It ain’t no place to be killing time
But I guess I’m just lazy

I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I cant get a life if my hearts’ not in it
