Nutini, Paolo - Simple Things Lyrics






If you love the life you live
Then you'll get a lot more done
Be more inclined to take the reins
Than turn away and run
It's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee,
So I suppose self satisfaction be the key
My father is a wealthy, self made man
But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land
Instead he has a family who are
His biggest fans
That's something that I one day hope to have
So I'll cherish the simple things
The easy took for granted things
Like going round my Mum's house for my tea
And argue with my sister,
Only God knows how I missed her
It's the simple things that mean the most to me

Argh, he gets up each day at five
Starts the car and makes the drive
Shutters up, starts the fryers
Serves out food to all the buyers in the town
As they stand there in the same old line
Get there every day at the same old time
No, you never hear him grumble and groan
Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on
And like me he cherished the simple things
The easy took for granted things
Like going round his Mum's house for his tea
And argue with his sister,
Only God knows how he missed her
It's the simple things tha mean the most to... him

    If you love the life you live
    Then you'll get a lot more done
    Be more inclined to take the reins
    Than turn away and run
    It's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee,
    So I suppose self satisfaction be the key
    My father is a wealthy, self made man
    But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land
    Instead he has a family who are
    His biggest fans
    That's something that I one day hope to have
    So I'll cherish the simple things
    The easy took for granted things
    Like going round my Mum's house for my tea
    And argue with my sister,
    Only God knows how I missed her
    It's the simple things that mean the most to me

    Argh, he gets up each day at five

    And like me he cherished the simple things

    I caught this on shuffle on an old iPod and have to admit to never really listening to Paolo. This changed that! Quality.

    We lost our granddad last year and this song sums up his life, his values and ours too. We listen to it all the time. x

    Sometimes its easy to forget where we all came from, the sacrifices our parents made,our grandparents and great grandparents. how they worked for our future and how grateful we forget to be. Love is our constant reminder. To all my cousins xxx
