Ray Davies - Quiet Life lyrics

Something's happenin' but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye If I see no evil, ask no questions, and I hear no lies Can't communicate with minds that are small With some people it's like talkin' to the wall And a fellow who walks away Lives to battle another day And I've really got no appetite For a fight Not tonight All I want is a quiet life Anything for a quiet life No ambition to rock the boat When I can just stay afloat Be content with a quiet life All I want is a quiet life Anything for a quiet life Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil at all Confidentially, between these walls I'm on top of it all I'd rather have 'em think I'm deaf, dumb, and blind Than aggravation every time I speak my mind Keep at a quiet life Anything for a quiet life I could easily blow my top Start a row But why start now? Give your daddy a quiet life Give your mother a quiet life Anything for a quiet life Give your daddy a quiet life Give your mother a quiet life Anything for a quiet life Confidentially, between these walls I'm on top of it all
