The Importance Of Being Idle Lyrics

[00:17.53] I sold my soul for the second time
[00:21.34] 'Cause the man don't pay me
[00:26.20] I begged my landlord for some more time
[00:29.89] He said, "Son, the bill's waiting"
[00:35.08] My best friend called me the other night
[00:38.76] He said, "Man, are you crazy?"
[00:43.71] My girlfriend told me to get a life
[00:47.24] She said, "Boy, you lazy"
[00:53.64] But I don't mind
[00:57.07] As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
[01:02.49] I'll be fine
[01:05.49] If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
[01:10.01] I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
[01:20.44]
[01:54.90] I don't mind
[01:57.97] As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
[02:03.55] I'll be fine
[02:06.90] Give me a minute, a man's got a limit
[02:11.10] I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
[02:20.90]
[02:28.63] I lost my faith in the summertime
[02:32.41] 'Cause it don't stop raining
[02:37.26] The sky all day is as black as night
[02:41.30] But I know I can't blame me
[02:46.07] I begged my doctor for one more line
[02:49.69] He said, "Son, words fail me"
[02:54.74] There ain't no place to be killing time
[02:58.30] I guess I'm just lazy
[03:04.61] I don't mind
[03:07.99] As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
[03:13.51] I'll be fine
[03:16.72] Give me a minute, a man's got a limit
[03:20.91] I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
[03:32.54]
