The Levellers
A Life Less Ordinary
This is your world, and we say "No, I won't go"
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
Far away from the soul, still healing
We rise to the sun with the hope of freedom!
Hey, I think we met before
Smoking cigarettes on the dance floor
By flickering light, the faintest trace
The contours of an all familiar face
This is your world, and we say "No, I won't go"
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
Far away from the soul, still healing
We rise to the sun, to the hope of freedom!
Those Thunderbird days and acid nights
How we set the world to rights
We learned to love the motorways
And those roadside parties lasted for days!
This is your world, but we say "No, I won't go"
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
Far away from the soul, still healing
We rise to the sun, to the hope of freedom!
In your eyes the west world turning
Our hearts dream to yearn
No surrender, we tried to hide
But you and I were born to collide...
Well Babylon, we used to say
It'd burn down to the ground one day
It's just a broken dream away
And another ugly morning
This is your world, and we say "No, I won't go"
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
Far away from the soul, still healing
We rise to the sun with the hope of freedom!
This is your world, and we say "No, I won't go"
A life less ordinary is the one I chose
Far away from the soul, still healing
We rise to the sun with the hope of freedom!
