ROGER DALTRY - "It's A Hard Life / Giving It All Away"

It's A hard life
When you feel down
And nobody understands you
They leave you hanging around
You waste all your days
Miss all your nights
Sit round just dreaming
You can do nothing right

It's a hard life
When your alone
Cramped in your lonely little room
Under dressed like a bone
You Walk in the streets
And people are so blind
Won't give you there penny
They just don't have the time

Ooooh It's a hard life
Up on the road
You better check it well first
Before you meet all the blows
For you won't like the walkin'
You'll get caught in the rain
But the steep on the highway
Lord you wish you never came

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes,
I got up and walked away.
Oh, I was just a boy,
I didn't know how to play.

Worked hard and failed
now all I can say is
I threw it all away.
Oh, I was just a boy
giving it all away... 

sail away, sail away,
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
giving it all away 

ooh, I know better now, I know better now
I've given it all away... 

Went out in the world too much for my nerves
only myself to blame.
oh, I was just a boy
nobody else to blame... 

I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands
stand on my head and say
oh, I was just a boy
giving it all away...

sail away, sail away,
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
giving it all away

ooh, I know better now, I know better now
given it all away..
