Life is Beautiful

I'm still enjoying all the cheesy tracks from the 80's this week which brought me to this one. "Life is Beautiful" by Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe. He's come some way since those days but an awesome muso.

This track although very dark and depressing in may ways makes you sit back and appreciate that there are many things that happen, many things that we do, but we have to learn the lesson.

You can't quit until you try
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth until you learn to lie
You can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke? It's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral

I know some things that you don't? I've done things that you won't
It's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home
I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral

Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral

If you give it a chance, you'll realise that life is beautiful. Warts and all.
