Grumbles

What a bother what a fuss too much trouble Something always comes along to burst the bubble Nothing ever turns out right and no one cares Everything goes wrong, and then the temper flares I can’t win the lottery and I’ve never won a light I’ve never won anything, not even a fight I am tired of the hassle and the things that go wrong I’m just sitting on the fence again where I belong I can’t make my mind up, what I want to do Go and get a takeaway or cook a homemade stew It doesn’t really matter now I don’t feel hungry anymore I can’t even be bothered to go through the front door We grumble over this and that, sometimes it’s so petty Like wires into the TV, that looks just like spaghetti Grumbling about the weather it never seems right It’s either too hot or cold or there’s too much sunlight There are people worse off than us as is always the case So our moanings and groanings are really a disgrace This is human nature though we’re never satisfied Nothing seems to please us and the humour has died We really should be thankful for all the things we’ve got Never mind the rain or if the sun is burning hot What if the bus is missing and doesn’t turn up Or if you spill your coffee all over from the cup Things aren’t really bad if you stand back to think You don’t need to worry or have to turn to drink Grumbling is quite natural but take it easy though People will just see you there and turn around to go No one likes a grumbler but it happens all the time You will have your grumbles and I will have mine It’s such a crying shame that things don’t go right If it wasn’t for that happening life would be so bright
