With A Smile Songtext / Lyric

this is a tired old world i want

news from elsewhere

good news

bad news

on picture-postcards

this is a blind spot

this is an empty lot

i need a radio

i need a hilltop

i want my news from elsewhere






it is a mighty long way from

here to elsewhere

uphill

downhill

wish i had a

fourwheel-drive

wish i was a contender

but you are never standing

by the roadside

you are never waving at me

i would be rather happy here

if i could tell you where i will be

passing by

with a smile



t' is a funny idea that i should

be from somewhere

isn't it obvious

that i have never

never ever been there

i'm on the look-out

i don't belong here

it would be wonderfull

if i was wrong

i would be rather happy here

if i could tell you where i will be

passing by

with a smile



In the wooden shed

He found a piece of cardboard

On which the previous

Occupant had written:

'How can i please myself

When i have no self to please? '

Sorry, young man' -thought Burroughs-

'I think you are kidding yourself.

As long as you talk to yourself,

You have a self.

The self is a pimping,

Blackmailing chauffeur

Who gets you from here to

There on word lines.



i would be rather happy here

if i could tell you where i will be

passing by

with a smile

with a smile

yeah
