Hold me like a mother would
Like I've always known somebody should, yeah
Although tomorrow don't look that good
Well it just goes to show
Though people say we're an unlikely couple
I'm seeing double of you
Oh

This is life
And everything's all right
Living living living living living living living living life

Oh, hope for the hopeless
I'm learning to cope, with the emotionless mediocrity of day-to-day living
How can I help but be restless
When everything seems so tasteless
And all of the colours seem to have faded away.

Oh
This is life
And everything's all right
Living living living living living living living living life

Hold me like a mother would
Like I've always known somebody should, yeah
Although tomorrow don't look that good
Well it just goes to show
Though people say we're an unlikely couple
Doris Day, and Mott the Hoople

This is life
And everything's all right
Living living living living living living living living life
