Life is Good

These are the lyrics from one of my favorite songs. Some of the verses are a little strange but I like the message of the chorus. I consider my music taste to be quite eclectic. I really like all different types of music and as I get older I'm liking new stuff all the time. I like the pop music and listen to a lot of alternative rock. I love country music but that comes in big phases. I used to hate Jazz but I think I like it more now. Anyway, this song is from one of the bands that Colin thinks is my favorite. I do love almost all of the songs on the two CDs I think this band ever produced, LFO is a band that I like- maybe one of my favorites but not THE FAVE if you know what I mean. Shakira and DMB are much higher up on the list.

So what is LFO? LFO is probably the most obscure of the "boy band" phase. They never really got much more popular than the hit I Like Girls that Wear Abercrombie and Fitch which is actually called, Summer Girls. I have to give credit where credit is due however, and say that my friend Heather from the DR introduced me to the band, or perhaps just shared a common love for them. It's been too long to remember. All I can say is, "American Dance Party?" Yeah, we were a bit over-cultured by that time in our trip if you know what I mean.

But aren't boy bands just the greatest? Probably started way back with the Beatles but in my time there were Boyz 2 Men, New Kids On The Block (oh the memories from grade school), then later N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys. Right about the latter end of those two bands you have the LFO. Anyway, enough reminiscing, here are the lyrics.

life is good
life is great
life is unbelievable
life is hard,
life is cruel
life is so beautiful
ooh yeah ooh yeah
la life is unbelievable
oh yeah oh yeah
la life is unbelievable

somewhere in life and yet
on my way to anywhere
a woman named Betris serves me coffee
and she smiled as if she cares
it reminds me of this painting
that I think I've often seen
the kings behind the counter
serving coffee to James dean

life is good
life is great
life is unbelievable
life is hard,
life is cruel
life is so beautiful
ooh yeah ooh yeah
la life is unbelievable
oh yeah oh yeah
la life is unbelievable

On my way to garden city
On my way to anywhere
A guy named Patrick gives me directions
and he smiles as if he cares
it reminds me of this movie
that I think I've often seen
pretty much this situation except I'd still be Steve McQween

So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
no more sorrows, your dreams came true
so knock on wood and cross your fingers
and count your blessings it might be you
So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
All your gray sky's turned blue
how many days do you think your given
so get on livin it's up to you

life is good
life is great
life is unbelievable
life is hard,
life is cruel
life is so beautiful
ooh yeah ooh yeah
la life is unbelievable
oh yeah oh yeah
la life is unbelievable

he so loves the sun
rock rock on yo I be slippin a rippin the party till the break of dawn
if you love rich nice
or you hate rich nice
take my advice and just live up your life ('cause it's your's)

[M.O.P]Hey if your mess'n with the sacred world
It's a never ending test
I don't know where to begin
And I feel I'm at an end
I don't wanna live life doing petty nonsense
It's hard to sleep at night With a guilty conscience
You know It's really a mess
Now I feel blessed
When 20 Minutes from now
It'll all turn to stress
I'm 27 years, All those Brownsville cheers
I'm stuck with all the blood, the sweat and the tears
baby It's on, A mother sheds tears at the same time a baby is born
On the other side of town a life is lost
A young thug was knocked off and the heat was tossed
damn Life is real, it's so trife
but don't stop now Live your life
I know it's hell for the rough
but don't talk down on your man, unless your helping him out
It's yours
So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
no more sorrows, your dreams came true
so knock on wood and cross your fingers
now count your blessings
It might be you
So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
all your gray sky's have turned blue
how many days do you think your given
so get on livin , it's up to you

Life is good
life is great
life is unbelievable
life is hard, life is cruel
life is so beautiful
ooh yeah ooh yeah
