Always look on the bright side of life


Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And

Always look on the bright side of life!

Always look on the bright side of life
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,

When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And always look on the bright side of life

Come on!
Always look on the bright side of life

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

Come on guys, cheer up

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

Worse things happen at sea you know

Always look on the bright side of life

I mean, what have you got to lose?
you know, you come from nothing
you're going back to nothing
what have you lost? Nothing!

Always look on the bright side of life

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Bruce Cockburn è un cantautore canadese nato nel 1945. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '60, pubblicando album folk influenzati da artisti come Bob Dylan e Joni Mitchell. Nel corso degli anni '70, le sue canzoni hanno spesso esplorato temi di fede cristiana, ma in modo non didascalico, mettendo l'accento sulla compassione per il prossimo. Negli anni '80, la sua musica si è fatta più politica, con brani come "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", ispirati dalla sua esperienza in un campo profughi guatemalteco per conto di Oxfam. Cockburn ha sempre goduto di una grande popolarità in Canada, dove è stato introdotto nella Canadian Music Hall of Fame nel 2001. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws" (1973), "Last Night Of The World" (1984) e "The Charity Of Lovers" (1991). Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono: "Wondering Where The Lions Are", "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" e "Hallelujah" (cover di Leonard Cohen).
