A Funny Thing You Said Everyone’s afraid of the weather I’m just afraid of the people’s umbrellas – They’re gonna have both my eyes out one day
I’d sell my soul, or sign a pact with Satan Just to get my songs played on a national radio station And have e-mails from round the country, from people that think they love me
And it’s a funny thing you said when you said you’d rather be dead, than still be doing the things you do at the age of 22, but people don’t grow up they grow older, they grow more disenchanted and feeble and colder And it’s a funny thing you said when you said you’d rather be dead, than still be doing the things you do at the age of 32, but people don’t grow up they grow older, and everyone’s still afraid of everything
Close the door, turn on the telly I don’t really care if the whole world forgets me – As long as my friends can wait until I die
In photographs we look kind of happy But photographs can lie to you and me
And it’s a funny thing you said when you said you’d rather be dead, than still be doing the things you do at the age of 22, but people don’t grow up they grow older, they grow more disenchanted and feeble and colder And it’s a funny thing you said when you said you’d rather be dead, than still be doing the things you do at the age of 32, but people don’t grow up they grow older, and everyone’s still afraid of everything
