1. THE IMPORTANCE BEING IDLE

I sold my soul for the second time
Cos the man, he don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said "Son, the bills waiting"

My best friend called me the other night
He said "Man, are you crazy?"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said "boy, you lazy"

But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I cant get a life if your hearts' not in it

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I cant get a life if my hearts' not in it

I lost my faith in the summertime
Cos it don't stop raining
The sky all day's as black as night
But I'm not complaining

I begged my doctor for one more line
He said "Son, words fail me"
It ain't no place to be killing time
But I guess I'm just lazy

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A mans got a limit
I cant get a life if my hearts' not in it


2. PASS ME DOWN THE WINE

Will you pass me down the wine ?
its getting near that time
What you got tomorrow?
Only pain and sorrow


Will you dance for me tonight
I promise I wont bite
Lets go and see the sun burst
Wait till i've got NUMB first


(CHORUS)

And if the morning come to us
And if the evening showers us
Sing to Us


Will you break it down for me
Coz what will be will be
I can hear the thunder
Go and stop the hunger

(CHORUS)

And if the morning come to us
And if the evening showers us
Sing to U

To all my sisters
Yeh you're looking really fine
Yo all my brothers
Bet you're feeling kinda high
To all the mothers
Well come on now don't be shy
To all the fathers
Who are sick and fucking tired


3. THE QUIET ONES

So let's hear it
For the quiet ones
Let's all hear it
Be as bright as sun
When it's dark and you're overcome
Listen now
Let's all hear it
For the quiet one

So let's hear it
For the quiet ones
Can't get near it
Till we're bright as sun
When it's dark and you're overcome
Listen Now
Let's all hear it
For the quiet one
