Lyrics to Things

I'm not a poster boy for recreational drugs

I'm a 32 year old man

With a pocket full of stories, a handful of songs and a three chord master plan



I try to be nice and enjoy myself and I take things in my stride

I see the poetry and the simple things that happen in my life

And I believe in love and family and trusting in my friends

Believe in myself but I also know that I don't know everything

So I don't take things too seriously and I like to play the fool

I understand the best things in life

Aren't things at all



The best questions go unanswered

The best mysteries untold

I keep my head head held high, keep my shoes untied, keep my movement in my soul

Well if everything happens for a reason

And everythings gonna be alright

One thing leads to another, these things happen all the time



When I look at the big picture and I just see loads of holes

Some of them so far away and some right here at home

But I'm not surprised when politics sells off it's policies

And religion contradicts itself with every blasphemy

The prophecy it came and went

And I'm stood where I stand

In the same blue Nike hoodie with a bin bag in my hands



The best journeys are best travelled with the best of friends

The best beginnings start before the means to an end

So be careful, be cautious, beware

Bollocks that's bullshit be a. breath of fresh air



Well I'm not sure what fracking is, but it sounds really bad

Drilling holes into the hills, and poisoning the land

Searching for an energy that we're told that we need

By the people who own the shares in the fracking companies

At least we've got the internet to form our own opinions

Til someone that you've never met decides to outlaw wanking

They'll watch what you get off on, see whether they agree with that

It's like it was a secret that human beings masturbate



And if you let them censor one thing, then they're soon gonna censor more

Til the things that you see aren't really anymore

And if we stop thinking for ourselves, then things are gonna get bad

Something worth thinking about before things get out of hand
