Davies, Ray - Quiet Life Lyrics
Something's happenin' but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye
If I see no evil, ask no questions, and I hear no lies
Can't communicate with minds that are small
With some people it's like talkin' to the wall
And a fellow who walks away
And I've really got no appetite
For a fight
Not tonight
All I want is a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
No ambition to rock the boat
When I can just stay afloat
Be content with a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil at all
Confidentially, between these walls
I'm on top of it all
I'd rather have 'em think I'm deaf, dumb, and blind
Than aggravation every time I speak my mind
Keep at a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
I could easily blow my top
Start a row
But why start now?
Give your daddy a quiet life
Give your mother a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
Give your daddy a quiet life
Give your mother a quiet life
Anything for a quiet life
Confidentially, between these walls
I'm on top of it all

Davies, Ray Quiet Life Comments
I need to blast this from my speakers when my family go off
Quiet life xxxxx
I just found this soundtrack on vinyl and this is the song I love to listen to when everyone's out of the house. Clever lyrics, and as the comment below states Davies shows he could hang with Cole Porter, Noel Coward or Hoagy Carmichael any day of the week.What a gem!
I hope my life will be quiet life and want to live listening only Ray Davies songs.
great!101
Absolut coool and not a beginner ;0))
I haven't heard this since my copy of the Absolute Beginners soundtrack was stolen.
bwahaha, that sucks
What was worse is that they took all my CDs and my turntable but left my records and CD player.
Brilliant.
great song
Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Hoagy Carmichael and Ray Davies!
This one is new to me, but, not surprisingly, he nails this music-hall style.
cheers
love this movie!
Thanks for posting! Have always loved this song.
Sometimes I think this should be my dorm's theme song.
