Kershaw, Nik - Wouldn't It Be Good Lyrics






I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I should

The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fiber
My broken spirit is frozen to the core
I don't want to be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

You must be joking, you don't know a thing about it
You've got no problem, I'd stay right there if I were you
I got it harder, you couldn't dream how hard I got it
Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you

The heat is stifling, burning me up from the inside
The sweat is coming through each and every pore
I don't want to be here no more
I don't want to be here no more
I don't want to be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away, ooh

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass is always greener over there
And wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I should

    My best decade of all. Born in the 60's, tried to figure what growing up was all about in the 70's, went out out into the wide world in the 80's and put my stamp on it by getting married in 88. Any song in the 80's conjours up nostalgic memories for me, times, places, the smells and of course friends and acquaintances who shared those ups and downs with us. I'm a father of 3, grandad to 2 (so far), still married to the same girl who stole my heart with her crazy Maddona look. My kids and grandkids think i'm a nutter when Frankie, DuranDuran, the Cure etc. is played and i start my jigging thing going on lol but god, wouldn't it be nice to be my youth in the 80's for just one more day ...... Peace guys xxx

  18. e.... k....

    The best songs from Nik Kershaw !!! THE BEST !!!!

  19. R.... A....

    This is a really, really good pop record from the 1980's which pushes it into greatness because of that middle instrumental. It raises the whole intensity of the track.

  61. M.... D....

    Beautiful music

  62. D.... H....

    I feel this way sometimes - interesting how these songs had some deep themes but done in a way you couldn't really understand when you were younger and hadn't lived life yet. I was in my teens when this first came out in the '80s; truly a magical time for music.

  63. D.... O....

    I like this song

  64. D.... O....

    Music good but the song goes down the drain when he starts singing.
    Worst lyrics, some talented artist would have written a better lines to go with the music.
