[00:01.11]Van Morrison - Keep It Simple
[00:07.61]
[00:19.79]They mocked me when I was singing the songs
[00:22.67]Trying to get back to something more simple than we have
[00:25.86]They mocked me 'cos I told it like it was
[00:30.10]
[00:32.85]Wrote about disappointment and greed
[00:35.26]Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives
[00:39.77]Make us feel alive and whole
[00:43.02]
[00:45.18]Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
[00:50.28]And straight reality is always cold
[00:57.68]Saying something hard edged is off the wall
[01:04.36]And it might seem too bold
[01:08.61]
[01:10.29]Mocked me when it got out of hand
[01:13.38]Nobody tried to understand
[01:15.94]Now we got to keep it simple and that's that
[01:20.62]
[01:48.50]Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
[01:53.29]And straight reality is always cold
[02:01.02]Saying something hard edged is off the wall
[02:07.74]And it just might be too bold
[02:11.64]
[02:12.59]Well I'm down here on the running board
[02:16.58]Where I've been many times before
[02:19.86]But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
[02:25.07]
[02:26.24]Mocked me when I tried to get back
[02:29.17]Said the train was completely off the track
[02:32.10]And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves
[02:36.51]
[02:36.81]Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
[02:44.18]Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
[02:50.53]Well you got to keep it simple, keep it simple just to - and that's that
[02:55.60]
[02:55.83]Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and that's just that
[03:01.73]Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and that's just the way it is
[03:08.51]And you got to keep it simple these days 'cos that's the way it is
[03:15.31]
[03:15.58]Well you got to keep it, keep it simple and that's that
[03:21.76]
