Lyrics

[00:01.11] Van Morrison - Keep It Simple
[00:17.81]
[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]
