Song lyrics

Send "The Importance Of Being Idle" ringtones to your cell

I sold my soul for the second time 
'Cos the man don't pay me 
I begged my landlord for some more time 
He said, "Son, the bills are waiting" 
My best friend called me the other night 
He said, "Man, you crazy" 
My girlfriend told me to get a life 
She said, "Boy, you lazy" 

But I don't mind 
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine 
I'll be fine 
If you give me a minute 
A man's got a limit 
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it 

I don't mind 
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine 
I'll be fine 
Give me a minute 
A man's got a limit 
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it 

I lost my faith in the summertime 
'Cos it don't stop raining 
The sky all day is as black as night 
But I'm not complaining 
I begged my doctor for one more line 
He said, "Son, words fail me 
It ain't your place to be killing time" 
I guess I'm just lazy 

I don't mind 
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine 
I'll be fine 
Give me a minute 
A man's got a limit 
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

376 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is the song that knocked James Blunt of no.1 and I'm really glad it did. This is probably the best song they've ever done and it's my fave song in the charts at the moment.
