[00:01.59]My, my, my it's a beautiful world
[00:07.83]I like swimming in the sea
[00:13.71]I like to go out beyond the white breakers
[00:19.50]Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
[00:25.53]I like swimming in the sea
[00:31.17]My, my, my it's a beautiful world
[00:37.41]I like drinking
[00:38.70]Irish tea
[00:43.29]With a little bit of
[00:44.34]Lapsang Souchong
[00:45.03]I like making my own tea
[00:54.72]My, my, my it's a beautiful world
[01:00.99]I like driving in my car
[01:06.78]Roll the top down, sometimes
[01:08.85]I travel quite far
[01:12.15]Drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars
[01:18.54]I like driving in my car
[01:23.91]All around is anger
[01:26.79]Automatic guns
[01:29.58]Death in large numbers
[01:31.50]And no respect for women or our little ones
[01:35.37]I tried talking to
[01:36.33]Jesus But he just put me on hold
[01:41.04]Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
[01:43.14]And he could not shake his cold
[01:51.60]And still this emptiness persists
[01:57.09]Perhaps this is as good as it gets
[02:02.97]When you've given up the drink
[02:04.95]And those nasty cigarettes
[02:08.67]Now I leave the party early, at least with no regrets
[02:14.61]I watch the sun as it comes up,
[02:17.34]I watch it as it sets
[02:20.46]Yeah, this is as good as it gets
[02:23.10]My, my, my it's a beautiful world
[02:32.49]I like sleeping with
[02:33.90]Marie She is one sexy girl full of mystery
[02:43.32]She says she doesn't love me
[02:45.72]But she likes my company
[02:49.62]For now that's good enough for me
[02:55.50]My, my, my it's a beautiful world
[03:01.50]I like swimming in the sea
[03:07.38]I like to go out beyond the white breakers
[03:13.02]Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
[03:18.90]I like swimming in the sea
[03:22.59]Yeah

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
