Lyrics
Sick and Tired
I'm sick and tired of living amongst the shadows and the lies
I long to be round people who smile when you pass by
And folks who aren't frightened to look me in the eye
I'm sick and tired of the shadows and the lies
I'm sick and tired of city life..... and all that entails
The constant sound of crunching brakes and tyres that just squeal
Endless smog, the mental fog when plans have all but failed
I'm sick and tired of all that entails
Chorus
I miss so much the healing touch of the sea breeze on my face
To feel safe and warm amidst the ocean storm as Mother Nature plays
To know that there is a friend nearby at any time of day
With a calming word of comfort, comfort come what may
Verse
I'm sick and tired of the concrete jungle and all of that stuff
Being part of the rat race, I've just had enough
Feeling cold down in my soul when the sun is up above
I'm sick and tired of all that stuff
I'm sick and tired of looking into dulled and empty eyes
Of tall, tall buildings that only serve to block out the sky
Feeling dread inside my head and never knowing why
I'm sick and tired of dulled and empty eyes
Chorus
I long to feel the healing touch of the sea breeze on my face
To feel safe and warm amidst the ocean storm as Mother Nature plays
To know that there is a friend next door at any time of day
With a calming word of comfort, comfort come what may
Verse
I'm sick and tired of living amongst the shadows and the lies
I long to be round people who smile when you pass by
And folks who aren't frightened to look me in the eye
I'm sick and tired of the shadows and the lies
I'm sick and tired of the shadows and the lies
