People work their lives Only to retire Husbands and wives Have nothing to aspire to When they grow old Nines and fives Bonds and stocks No one thrives On punching clocks And so it's told I've panned my gold My little world is much to me The flirts, the foreplay The flaunts You couldn't give away for free A world nobody wants Nothing amazing, new or proud The life I've chosen to lead No trace of silver on my cloud No pedigree, no breed And even though it's sad Even though it's beautiful It can only be mine It can only be mine My little world is commonplace Important people would say But all the lines upon my face Are quite a price to pay Fr a little world that could only be A world that belongs to only me Take it fellas! My little world is commonplace Important people would say But all the lines upon my face Are quite a price to pay Fr a little world that could only be A world that belongs to only me
