Richard, Cliff - My Kinda Life Lyrics






Right from early days from the moment I was born
I would take my guitar in the early early mornin'
And go down to the fields and play-ay-ay

Sittin' down there in the long grass strummin'
I could see the people from miles around comin'
To hear me sing my music and play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

Well we made it to the city just me and my guitar
That was where I found a freaky little bar
I sat there on the stage and play-ay-ayed
Well up came a guy who said it wasn't plastic
He wanted me to sing away my life or something drastic
But all I wanna do is play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

Well fame and fortune I've let them pass me by
No one in the country could say I didn't try
To turn the people and to play-ay-ay
You can keep all the money and the places that go with it
Cos all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it
All I wanna do is play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

    Salve Cliff : Un Video che definire originale, è riduttivo.- Tu poi Cliff, ti fai letteralmente in cinque.-Cos’altro dire ? Sai esprimerti sulla scena, come è sempre stato da parte tua, in una maniera che oserei dirti, “ travolgente “.-A te vadano numerosi Grazie, per uno spettacolo che vive nel Passato, nel Presente e così sarà nel Futuro.-Sono sempre io, ad aggiungermi ai tuoi Fans più numerosi dei granelli di sabbia !!! -Aldo, “ one Man Band “ :12/1/2019, anno Domini.-

    Hi,
    Sir Cliff was born in 1940.
    In Lucknow India.
    Hope that this comment is helpful regarding his age and he is still having a great career after all the false accusations .Also
    Shame that radio stations don't play his records anymore.
    But anyway thanks for posting
    Regards.

  52. S.... P....

    He looks very similar to Jim Carrey.

  53. R.... D....

    Such an underated talent...

  54. D.... D....

    Seriously at the height of his cuteness here, but I'm not keen on the song itself, sounds like a commercial jingle to me.

    D.... D....

    I agree,not keen on this song, but definitely 'at the height of his cuteness', I think the 70's and early 80's was when he was pretty hot,but I acknowledge that he has aged well.

    D.... D....

    Yes, he has. :)

    D.... D....

    No one remains in one stage of his life..

  55. L.... D....

    timeless song by the very best

  58. a.... ....

    I totally agree with you Jane, that title was only something I heard from Black Sabbath founder Tony Iommi who's a big Sir Cliff fan who said: In England Cliff is the Elvis Presley of England.

  59. a.... ....

    The bass on this song is sick.
    Long live Sir Cliff the England Elvis.

    a.... ....

    Nahhhhh not even close. Come on.

    a.... ....

    Loads better than Elvis

    a.... ....

    Cliff is the best singer ever.

    a.... ....

    He always has good baselines and bass tones.

    a.... ....

    @heartuser100 i agree with you for starters cliff does not believe unlike elvis
