Lyrics Lawson – The Life Of Michael May
Text:
Champagne and limousines,
Front page of a magazine,
His heart was young and wild and free,
On Sunset Boulevard all night with movie stars,
Suits made in Saville Row,
Penthouse in Tokyo,
He wondered was it all a dream,
Necklace made out of pearls,
Waking up to random girls,
He wondered how it came to be
He had the whole world waiting at his feet,
Wanted that something money couldn’t bring,
Cause he never believed it — that what he had was what he needed,
So one day he woke up and threw it all away
This is the life of Michael May,
This is the life of Michael May
Gave up his flashing cars,
Not seen in fancy bars,
He left that life in Hollywood,
Rode off into the sun,
In the hope he’d fine someone,
And reach a place he never could,
Now the past has been and gone,
Finally knows what he really wants,
And he won’t look back
He had the whole world waiting at his feet,
Wanted that something money couldn’t bring,
Cause he never believed it — that what he had was what he needed,
So one day he woke up and threw it all away.
This is the life of Michael May,
This is the life of Michael May
Sun shining on a beach
Gold stand between his feet,
The old him distant memory,
He looks up with open eyes,
To the smile of his loving wife,
It is the best thing he’s ever seen
He has the whole world waiting at his feet,
He’s got that something money couldn’t bring,
Cause he never believed it — that what he had was what he needed,
So one day he woke up and threw it all away.
This is the life of Michael May,
This is the life of Michael May
It’s never too late to make a change.
