Beautiful - The View

Boy you dug your head in a thousand holes

You got to stand up, you got to take the blows

‘Cause if you don’t take the blows

Then the girl won’t sing and the gas won’t blow

Sometimes I think that I think too much

And that it’s all in my head and I can’t touch

‘Cause if you touch too much

Then the lights won’t go on and the water won’t flush

And I’m chasing all my cares away

Fighting for freedom for one way

And I’m chasing all my cares away

So take me to that beautiful way

Nitrous in my eyes, I blank too much

And if I carry on, my mind will turn to mush

And if it turns to mush

Then the strings won’t batter and the paint won’t brush

He said 'You're only happy when you’re pissed'

I said ‘No, I’m not', He said, ‘I insist

How many times could you have blown a kiss

But instead you swung your fist?'

And I’m chasing all my cares away

Fighting for freedom for one day

And I’m chasing all my cares away

So take me to that beautiful way

So take me to that beautiful way

What was that ripping away?

Oh was it, was it a time?

Was it part of a crime?

You can only own your own life

So why own mine?

I own mine

And I’m chasing all my cares away

Fighting for freedom for one day

And I’m chasing all my cares away

So take me to that beautiful way

Take me to that beautiful way

Take me to that beautiful way

Take me to that beautiful way
