It Would Be Nice - Lyrics - Ian Gillan

It would be nice If the sun shone every day A full moon dressed in a starry night Could put us in the mood for dancing - romancing It would be nice If we keep this to ourselves If we hold on to our tranquillity Storms are always passing - never lasting You worked so hard You had so much passion Thought you were hip But you slipped out of fashion You lost control You lost your mind And then you sold your soul It would be nice If the air was warm and clear Zephyrs rippling on our skin Exploring our senses - exquisite senses You worked so hard You had so much passion Thought you were cool But you dropped out of fashion You lost control You lost your mind Sold your soul Got left behind You were so immortal For a minute or two Everybody had A good look at you Now you're gone You left no mark You're forever in the dark You were so immortal For a minute or two We all had A good look at you Now you're gone You left no mark Stumbling around In the endless dark Now - just imagine if You trade ammunition For another way of life A more subtle proposition Have to believe There'd be a lot less waste And you'd appreciate the taste - it would be nice
