It might only be some TV programme that I've downloaded off the net about the opportunities to buy and renovate 50,000 pound properties in Italy, but I'm giving them more than a passing glance these days. My wife watches this stuff with me - and she feels the same. She's really had a bellyful of life in Thailand. More so than I have.
As far as I'm concerned it's because Thailand works for me at this moment in time. I've got a few irons in the fire and by and large I enjoy my daily routine. It could be better but it could be a whole lot worse. I've become something of an anti-social self-employed hermit and to tell the truth I enjoy it.
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Suthiporn would have blushed
"You've been in Bangkok too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been in LOS too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
