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
