This Is Your Life ('88)

by The Blow Monkeys

on Whoops! There Goes the Neighbourhood (1989), Choices, The Single Collection (1989)

Hey, hi
Yeah, yeah

Time to get a hold of all the things that make you sold
It's time to repossess the means that serve you best
How can you stand by in the shadow of the throne
Humble servants make their home, oh, baby

This is your life and it's sad
Now it's time (time)
Time to grab a hold of your life

There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Said what you never had, baby, you won't miss
There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Survival of the fittest

To all the broken families down on bended knees
It's time to relocate the focus of your hate

Now he's doing legal time, oh, baby

This is your life and it's sad
Now it's time (time)
Time to grab a hold of your life

There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Said what you never had, baby, you won't miss
There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Survival of the fittest, yeah

There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Said what you never had, people, you won't miss
There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Survival of the fittest

This is your life and it's sad
Now it's time (time)
Time to grab a hold of your life, hey, hey, hey, yeah

There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Said what you never had, baby, you won't miss
There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Survival of the fittest, yeah

There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Said what you never had, baby, you won't miss
There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Survival of the fittest, yeah

There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Said what you never had, people, you won't miss
There's a saying going 'round and it goes like this
Survival of the fittest, yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a saying going 'round, yeah
There's a saying
