Painting the Forth Bridge

[Verse 1] I met her at a party A friend of a friend had thrown To celebrate his birthday A brilliant excuse to get stoned [Verse 2] She said that I was crazy To even try to understand I said that she was lazy But she told me to look at my hand [Chorus] She said Life is just like Painting the Forth Bridge With a toothbrush In the full knowledge That when it's done It will be begun again [Verse 3] We wandered into the garden And cried into our beer We knelt under the yew tree And wished it a thousand morе years [Verse 4] We argued by thе lakeside Until I pushed her in So we swam out to an island Which frightened us out of our skin [Chorus] She said Life is just like Crossing the Severn Paying a toll To get you to heaven And when you're in Life begins again [Verse 5] Her words flew up to heaven My thoughts remained below Words said without feeling Never to heaven go Never to heaven go Never to heaven go (Never to heaven go) [Outro] She said Life is just like Painting the Forth Bridge With a toothbrush In the full knowledge That when it's done Others will come To toil in hail, rain Wind, snow and sun When all is said I'm done my life is yours And yours is mine
