Love - You Set The Scene lyrics
--- part I (0:00) ---
 Verse 1:
 Where are you walking, I've seen you walking
 Have you been there before? 
 Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps
 What did you take them for? 
 There's a private in my boat and he wears
 Pins instead of medals on his coat
 There's a chicken in my nest and she won't
 Lay until I've given her my best
 At her request she asks for nothing
 You get nothing in return
 If you want she brings you water
 If you don't then you will burn
 Verse 2:
 You go through changes, it may seem strange
 Is this what you're put here for? 
 You think you're happy and you are happy
 That's what you're happy for
 There's a man who can't decide if he should
 Fight for what his father thinks is right
 There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up
 But they would rather screw you down
 At my request I ask for nothing
 You get nothing in return
 If you're nice she'll bring me water
 If you're not then I will burn
--- part ii (2:20) ---
 Verse 1:
 This is the time and life that I am living
 And I'll face each day with a smile
 For the time that I've been given's such a little while
 And the things that I must do consist of more than styleLove - You Set The Scene - http://motolyrics.com/love/you-set-the-scene-lyrics.html
 [1: there are places that I am going
4: there'll be time for you to start all over]
 Verse 2:
 This is the only thing that I am sure of
 And that's all that lives is gonna die
 And there'll always be some people here to wonder why
 And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
 There'll be time for you to put yourself on
 Verse 3:
 Everything I've seen needs rearranging
 And for anyone who thinks it's strange
 Then you should be the first to want to make this change
 And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
 Do you like the part you're playing
 Bridge (4:03):
 I see your picture
 It's in the same old frame
 We meet again
 You look so lovely
 You with the same old smile
 Stay for a while
 I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
 And if you take it easy
 I'm still teethin'
 I wanna love you, but
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[repeat verse 1]
 This is the time and this is the time and
 It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...
