Simple Life from The Embarrassment by The Beautiful Down

I'll take a quiet life, a quiet and peaceful life,
and leave you to decide because it's better that way.
Live in the countryside, let our lives pass us by
Leave it to God to make us old and grey.

We'll be on the outside looking in,
offer a cup of tea to Ms. Matheson
We'll need no gate to keep us in, life will be simple.

Dog in the backyard, got acres of backyard
With a ride-on lawnmower if that's ok.
Live when we ought to, have fun like we used to,
That will get us through this winter's dismay.

I think I'm catching on this dream of yours
We don't have to put up with life's chores
our heart's an open door, life will be simple.

I don't want to grow up and leave a simple life.

We'll go to a party towards the nightlife,
they'll catch us kissing under moonlight,
no regrets, no mistakes of life.
Life will be simple.

I look at you again and you look at me again
And we realize we're on the very same page.
The kids are much older now, we have gotten older now,
We realized it's gotten better with age.

We live in a world that's all our own,
No use for a TV or telephone,
maybe they'll leave us alone.

Life will be simple, a simple life.
