I hope you’ll like this at least as much as I do! Today’s break is a song from the film Life of Brian , The Meaning of Life (Monty Python).
It wasn’t planned or rehearsed; the ending scene was a bit boring so Eric Idle started this song. Everyone liked it and decided to keep it in the film. Because the words (mostly due to the low quality of the video) are not always obvious, I decided to give you a little hand by posting the lyrics (right after the song). Enjoy!
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from Monty Python)
(words and music by Eric Idle, lyrics from thebards.net)
Some things in life are bad / They can really make you mad / Other things just make you swear and curse./ When you’re chewing on life’s gristle / Don’t grumble, give a whistle / And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
If life seems jolly rotten / There’s something you’ve forgotten / And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing. / When you’re feeling in the dumps / Don’t be silly chumps / Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
For life is quite absurd / And death’s the final word / You must always face the curtain with a bow. / Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin / Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a piece of s**t / When you look at it / Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true. / You’ll see it’s all a show / Keep ’em laughing as you go / Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life… / Always look on the right side of life… / (Come on guys, cheer up!) / Always look on the bright side of life… / Always look on the bright side of life… / (Worse things happen at sea, you know.) / Always look on the bright side of life… / (I mean – what have you got to lose?) / (You know, you come from nothing – you’re going back to nothing. / What have you lost? Nothing!) / Always look on the right side of life…
