This is the life

"This is the life" is a song by LorD and Master featuring AethyrCat, also known as Peter Nugent. The song was one of the earliest to be produced for the album, Featuring though it was among the last to be completed because Nugent doesn't like his voice. Though everyone else thinks it's jolly good.

Lyrics

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold, dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls
With the curls in their hair
While the shy, tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs, they louder, each one better than before

And you're singing the song
Thinking this is the life 
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the song
Thinking this is the life 
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight
Where you gonna sleep tonight

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home till four

So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Ragger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the song
Thinking this is the life 
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the song
Thinking this is the life 
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the song
Thinking this is the life 
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the song
Thinking this is the life 
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight
Where you gonna sleep tonight

Where you gonna sleep tonight
Where you gonna sleep tonight
Where you gonna sleep tonight
