No Small Wonder
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: No Small Wonder Unveiled
Lyrics
I got home late last night about 8
I arrived home late at around 8 PM.
There was nothing on the T.V. as usual
Nothing interesting was on TV, as usual.
Just the normal repeats and things
Only the usual repeats and mundane things were on.
I had the City Prices edition of the Evening Standard
I had the City Prices edition of the Evening Standard newspaper.
Which was not as good as the Late Night one
The Late Night edition is preferred because it has complete cinema listings.
Mainly because it doesn't have the full cinema listings
The City Prices edition lacks the full cinema listings.
To be more specific it doesn't have the Fulham ABC
It specifically misses the Fulham ABC cinema, which is local to the speaker.
Which is my local
The Fulham ABC cinema is the local cinema.
So I walked over to Battersea Park
The speaker walked to Battersea Park.
Down by the Sri Chimnoy Mile
He walked down by the Sri Chimnoy Mile.
Past the Peace Pagoda
Passed the Peace Pagoda.
It's good
The speaker appreciates the experience.
You can have a personal religious experience
One can have a personal religious experience and improve health.
And get healthy at the same time
Health is important for a busy person like the speaker.
Which obviously is important for a busy man like me
Another moment in life's great adventure is highlighted.
Well another moment in life's great adventure
It's no small wonder, emphasizing the wonder of life.
It's no small wonder
Reiteration of the marvelous aspects of life.
I hope you weren't offended by what happened last night
The speaker hopes no offense was taken regarding the previous night.
It was the awkward hour
It was an awkward hour.
And I didn't know what to do
The speaker was unsure whether to continue or end the interaction.
Whether you come on or just leave it
The speaker wasn't highly interested and thought the other person felt the same.
To be honest I wasn't that interested
He decided to go back to his place.
And I didn't think you were either
The other person went back to their place.
So I went back to my place
The speaker got into bed.
And you went back to yours
The other person went to their own bed.
And I got into bed
The speaker started reading a book.
And started reading a book
The book is by Tobias Woolf.
By a guy called Tobias Woolf
The speaker appreciates short stories.
It's good it's short stories
The book provides a mental escape before sleep.
Just before you sleep he'll take
Tobias Woolf's stories transport the reader to Burma, Mandalay, and similar places.
You off to Burma, Mandalay
The speaker sets the alarm for the next day's work.
Places like that
Another day in life's great adventure is anticipated.
I set the alarm clock ready for another day at work
Emphasis on the routine of setting the alarm for the next day.
Another day in life's great adventure
Reiteration of another day in life's great adventure.
It's no small wonder
It's no small wonder, echoing the theme of the wonders of life.
