This Is The Life Lyrics - Deacon Blue

You're unchanging 

I'm unchangeable 

That's a difference 

We have to recognise 

Some folks never row 

Their ways seem like paradise 

But inside we all know 

That this is the life 

You're the greatest 

Thing I've ever seen 

You make my eyes bleed 

And others turn to green 

Make the road open 

The future all gold 

Make my world spin 

When I open the door 

This is the life 

You'd better get used to 

You know you don't choose it, but 

This is the life 

This is the life 

Anything goes 

Oh if anything goes 

You can wave it away 

This thing won't come back again 

And take me round 

And let me see 

What was I thinking about 

Cause now is the time 

For you to see me 

We can walk away, darling 

Or we can say
