Fiddler's Green - Life lyrics

Life is very short so Ryan went aboard
He sailed the seven seas
He liked the ocean breeze the boat
It hit a reef and now
Ryan's wife's in grief

Young Simon met a girl
She was a perfect pearl
The girl became his wife
She started whetting knives
She soon became a felon
And her name was Bloody Helen

Life is, when you look at it
Sometimes nice and sometimes shit
How it ends, that's all we know
Welcome to the reality show

Life is very strange
And sometimes things can change
So let us look at Tim he went out for a swim
The waves were much too strong
And the swim, it went quite wrong

Life is quite a strain
You kick and fight in vain
But somewhere down the line
You miss a traffic sign
And the final words you utter
"Shit, it's goin' down the gutter"

Life is, when you look at it
Sometimes nice and sometimes shit
How it ends, that's all we know
Welcome to the reality show
