Jo Simon - Weltschmerz

Ein kleiner, diesmal etwas ernsterer Song über jemanden der alles hat und trotzdem unzufrieden ist. Und nö, nicht jeder Song braucht einen Refrain...;-)

Text, Idee, Musik, Gesang, alle Instrumente Jo Simon

Weltschmerz

Write in my diary every day, so many things I have to say
So many words rush out of my head, my diary seems my only friend
A little lonely deep inside, too many thoughts that I can’t hide
Will anyone ever want to know this gobshite in my mind?

I live my simple life, two kids, one dog, my wife
A sweet home by the sea, a quiet lonely street
A kinda boring job, no neighbours who piss me off
No sex and drugs and rock ’n’ roll, the party times are gone.

I‘m doing what I can, to play the happy man
Have known it for a while, there is no perfect life
And maybe I am wrong to think my dreams are gone
Now that I’ve got everything I should be satisfied.

Happiness is rare, I should be happy with what I’ve got
You, the kids and everything, I know it’s quite a lot
It’s more than I deserve, it’s more than I ever sought
So I should stop complaining about the emptiness in my heart.
