If you enjoy the boring things
You've got this life cracked
Sing while you fold the washing
Mend that dripping tap
Write yourself a funny song
Loudon Wainwright style
Put on someone else's shoes
Go walking for a mile
Things are only as bad
As you let them be
Don't believe in God or angels
So it's all up to me
The second verse is always harder
To write than the first
Enthusiasm disappears
Like a bubble that has burst
Fill it up with rambling
Is what I often do
No one's listening anyway
Except of course for you
Things are only as bad
As you let them be
Don't believe in God or angels
So it's all up to me
Focus on what's happening now
Not what's coming next
Go and see your friends and talk
Don't just send a text
The sky is grey and cloudy now
They said it would be blue
Be prepared for anything
Is all that you can do
Things are only as bad
As you let them be
Don't believe in God or angels
So it's all up to me
Yeah things are only as bad
As you let them be
Don't believe in God or angels
So it's all up to me
