[00:00.00] No one can hold a light to your misery
[00:04.74] You’re the number one
[00:07.12] Being hard done
[00:09.76] Hard done by
[00:11.83] You’ll get by with your smile
[00:14.22] Wicked smile and laughing at the misfortune of others
[00:20.46] You gotta get your kicks
[00:22.09] Kicking the pricks
[00:23.63] Laughing as they pick up sticks
[00:27.12] And old ladies walks on by
[00:30.95] Trip up as they glide
[00:34.13] With all the battering it’s taken
[00:38.48] I’m surprised it’s still ticking
[00:43.01] Yeah with all the battering it’s taken
[00:48.72] I’m surprised it’s still ticking
[00:52.20] Let’s get straight to the heart of the matter
[00:56.73] So glum, it’s all on a platter
[00:59.25] So what’s the matter, what’s the matter today?
[01:03.41]
[01:04.83] I am no stranger to the coals
[01:08.32] I carry them in my soul
[01:10.00] They scorch my flesh and leave great holes
[01:13.45] In the meaning of my life
[01:15.50] But I get by, I get by
[01:18.29] Just as crooked little smile
[01:20.88] You’ll get by, you’ll get by, you’ll get by
[01:25.96] With all the battering it’s taken
[01:31.40] Well, I’m surprised it’s still ticking
[01:36.39] Yeah, with all the battering it has taken
[01:41.88] I’m surprised it’s still ticking
[01:45.46] Let’s get straight to the heart of the matter
[01:50.04] So glum, it’s all on a platter
[01:52.54] So what’s the matter, what’s the matter today?
[01:56.94] Oh let’s get straight to the heart of the matter
[02:00.56] Why so glum it’s all on the platter
[02:03.33] So what’s the matter tell me what’s the matter today?
[02:07.56]
[02:08.80] So hold a light to my misery
[02:11.93] But don’t send it up in flames
[02:14.38] It’s only I who take the blame
[02:17.06] But try me anyway
[02:19.32] And you’ll get by you’ll get by
[02:21.99] With your wicked little smile
[02:24.89] You’ll get by, you’ll get by with your wicked little
[02:29.53] Ohhhh
