This Is the Life
Navigating Life's Rhythms: Matt Monro's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Oh the wind whistles down
Setting the scene with the wind whistling down a cold, dark street.
The cold dark street tonight
Describing the atmosphere of the night.
And the people they were dancing
People are dancing to the music vibe.
To the music vibe
Highlighting the energetic and lively music environment.
And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
Depicting boys pursuing girls with curls in their hair.
While the shocked too many "just" sit way over there
Some people are shocked and sitting away from the lively scene.
And the songs get louder each one better than before
The songs are escalating in volume, each one surpassing the previous.
And you're singing the song thinking this is the life
Reflecting on the moment, thinking that this is the good life.
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Waking up with a hangover, head feeling twice the size.
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Pondering where to go and sleep after the night's revelry.
And you're singing the song thinking this is the life
Repeating the idea of enjoying the moment through song.
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Reiterating the morning-after consequences of a night out.
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Continuing the theme of uncertainty about where to sleep.
Where you gonna sleep tonight
Repeating the question of where to sleep, emphasizing the urgency.
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for 4
Moving forward in a taxi, possibly reflecting on the night's events.
And you're waiting outside jimmy's front door
Waiting outside someone's door, possibly for entry or companionship.
But nobody's in and nobody's home till 4
Not finding anyone until 4 a.m., indicating a late-night lifestyle.
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Sitting idle with nothing to do, emphasizing the waiting period.
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
Discussing Robert Riger and his motley crew, perhaps reflecting on friends.
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Reiterating the uncertainty about where to sleep.
And you're singing the song thinking this is the life
Repeating the joyous feeling of singing in the moment.
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Revisiting the morning-after hangover experience.
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Continuing the uncertainty about where to sleep.
And you're singing the song thinking this is the life
Reiterating the enjoyment of singing in the present.
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Recalling the morning-after consequences of a night out.
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Asking again where to go and sleep after the revelry.
Where you gonna sleep tonight
Repeating the urgency of the question regarding where to sleep.
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
Reemphasizing the joyous feeling of singing in the moment.
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Recalling the morning-after hangover experience.
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Reiterating the uncertainty about where to sleep.
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
Repeating the enjoyment of singing in the present.
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Reiterating the consequences of a morning-after hangover.
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Asking again where to go and sleep after the night's events.
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Repeating the urgent question about where to sleep.
