Nelson Angus Oliver - It Sounded Better In My Living Room Lyrics

I wrote this song late last night
And I wanted to play it for you
But something happened on the way downtown
And now I don't know what to do
I play my guitar in the bedroom
When I wake up to the morning light
I play my guitar in the bathroom
'Cause the echo it sounds just right
I play my guitar in the kitchen
'Cause I really like workin' 'round food
I play my guitar all over the house
Whenever I feel in the mood
It sounded better in my living room
When I played it all alone
There were no people in my living room
And I was just a little stoned.
I practised the song on the staircase
I practised the music in the hall
Now the words are running all around in my head
And I just can't remember them all
I took the train up to Münster
But the music got off in Cologne
Now my fingers are running all over the strings
Like they've got a mind of their own
It sounded better in my living room
When I played it all alone
There were no people in my living room
And I was just a little stoned
You must believe me it was better then
I really do know how to play
It will be better if I try it again
Oh please please don't run away
It sounded better in my living room
When I played it all alone
There were no people in my living room
And I was just a little stoned
You must believe me it was better then
I really do know how to play
It will be better if I try it again
Oh please please don't run away
