Filthy Thieving Bastards - That's Life lyrics

[NOTE: Lyrics are not necessarily complete or accurate. < >s indicate areas of uncertainty in the lyrics. Edits and corrections welcome.] Life wasn't so grand, Until you threw a bone to me. Life hasn't been bland, Since you lifted the phone for me < bone from me? > I wasn't gonna stand For those violent waves of the sea. I was so reluctant to grab The silent < waves of the heat? ways of your __? > And mistakes I was making. That's life! Frankie tried to tell ya, Jimmy introduced you to the scene. That's life! Sinatra's gonna spell it out, Pursey' gonna wind up eating < beans? >. That's life, that's life! Try doing to yourself, as you would do unto me <(And I'm hardly listening)> Supply screaming for the shelf That hangs above your sink <(And don't bother undressing?)> Cries brewing on your health Have gotten intoxicating (Crashing into my knees) Sties stewing on your stealth Will rot your well-being (Stopping well short of Beijing) That's life! Frankie tried to tell ya, Jimmy introduced you to the scene. That's life! Sinatra's gonna spell it out, Pursey' gonna wind up eating beans. That's life, that's life! That's life, that's life! [Instrumental Interlude] I'm trailing you the crumbs, Of the currant white bread trapping. I'm feeling every hump, Of a wide tread tire marking. I'm mailing in the hump, To a wife's tired embarking Save prayers for the dying, And thoughts for the hemorrhaging. And the atheists will sing, That's life! Frankie tried to tell ya, Jimmy introduced you to the scene. That's life! Sinatra's gonna spell it out, Pursey' gonna wind up eating beans. That's life, that's life! That's life, that's life! That's life, that's life!
