Rainbirds - With A Smile lyrics

Album: Making Memory (1996)

this is a tired old world i want
news from elsewhere
good news
bad news
on picture-postcards
this is a blind spot
this is an empty lot
i need a radio
i need a hilltop
i want my news from elsewhere

it´s a mighty long way from
here to elsewhere
uphill
downhill
wish i had a
fourwheel-drive
wish i was a contender
but you´re never standing
by the roadside
you´re never waving at me
i´d be rather happy here
if i could tell you where i´ll be
passing by
with a smile

t` is a funny idea that i should
be from somewhere
isn`t it obvious
that i´ve never
never ever been there
i`m on the look-out
i don`t belong here
it´d be wonderfull
if i was wrong
i´d be rather happy here
if i could tell you where i´ll be
passing by
with a smile

In the wooden shed
He found a piece of cardboard
On which the previous
Occupant had written:
“How can i please myself
When i´ve no self to please? “
Sorry, young man³ -thought Burroughs-
“I think you´re kidding yourself.
As long as you talk to yourself,
You´ve a self.
The self is a pimping,
Blackmailing chauffeur
Who gets you from here to
There on word lines.

i´d be rather happy here
if i could tell you where i´ll be
passing by
with a smile
with a smile
yea
