All I Wanted

from That's Rough by Michael Howard

	/

lyrics

Im a man of culture im a man of greed
Think you can satisfy, test me and see
The truth is what it is, not what you seek
Theres nothing in this world for me

Take yourself a pretty wife
Spend yourself a bit of cold cash
Eat your heart out on the beach
Theres nothing in this world for me

Win yourself a silly game
Indulge in pageantry and skill
Send your coworkers a christmas card
Sounds like im already in hell

F C G
Freedom hallelujah, shave my head
Am G C
Take all of me and scatter, leave what’s left for dead

Give away the final item, and leave God on read
Open my mouth for the last word, light comes out instead

The camera lens is closed before you hear the sound
The suns already set, when last light hits the ground
I cant remember birth, it feels like being found
Awake and undecided, does this keep going round?

Waiting for a moment, that near or passed
Savoring the absence, even that won’t last
I’m struggling in the current, and its pulling fast
All I wanted was to have you but i know better than to ask
