Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Well, I'm back. Been off for a week and just taking it easy. Broke all possible forms of routine - it was fantastic.

I'm in a pretty happy space at the moment (even if I do have one sick kitty - but he'll be fine) and I can't believe that I've never added a Monty Python song! So in perfect contrast to the usual Monday today's tune is "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from The Life of Brian. Possibly the most blasphemous movie of all time? Dunno, I thought it was hysterical. That said and done, this is is sung/played... (performed?) as the movie ends.

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a wistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

(the music fades into the song)

...always look on the bright side of life!
(whistle)

Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,

When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...

(whistle)
Come on!

(other start to join in)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(whistle)

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)


Sometimes, just maybe if we stop long enough and have a good look around we might just get the joke? Always look on the bright side... and don't forget to "laugh and smile and dance and sing".
