Jerry Williams - Grab Life lyrics

[Verse 1] There’s a man called Jack, lives down my road He built a house with his own hands Bricks and sand can make a home I wanna build a house like Jack Then there’s Irene from next door She survived the Second World War Raised six children on her own I wanna be brave like Irene [Pre-Chorus] Some things you can’t control How am I supposed to know What I should be keeping close And what I should let go Maybe it’s not worth the worry [Chorus] Grab life In between the teeth ’cause soon enough man, you’ll be dead Don’t watch the sunshine from your bed Take a bite There’s a feast for you to eat ’cause soon enough man, you’ll be dead Don’t watch the sunshine from your bed [Verse 2] No space in this town for me to breathe I’ve had enough and I want to leave Said Lucy, sat by the river Eating chips, wishing she was thinner Oh mom, I’ve let you down I wanna be friends with the family now But is goes so quick And in a blink It could all go down the bathroom sink [Chorus] Grab life In between the teeth ’cause soon enough man, you’ll be dead Don’t watch the sunshine from your bed Take a bite There’s a feast for you to eat ’cause soon enough man, you’ll be dead Don’t watch the sunshine from your bed [Bridge] Irene [Chorus] Grab life In between the teeth ’cause soon enough man, you’ll be dead Don’t watch the sunshine from your bed Take a bite There’s a feast for you to eat ’cause soon enough man, you’ll be dead Don’t watch the sunshine from your bed [Outro] There’s a man called Jack, lives down my road He built a house with his own hands Bricks and sand can make a home I wanna build a house like Jack
