Grab Life

There's a man called Jack, lives down my road He built a house with his own hands Bricks and sand can make a home I wanna build a house like Jack Then there's Irene from next door She survived the Second World War Raised six children on her own I wanna be brave like Irene [Pre-Chorus] Some things you can't control How am I supposed to know What I should be keeping close And what I should let go Maybe it's not worth the worry Grab life In between the teeth 'Cause soon enough man, you'll be dead Don't watch the sunshine from your bed Take a bite There's a feast for you to eat 'Cause soon enough man, you'll be dead Don't watch the sunshine from your bed No space in this town for me to breathe I've had enough and I want to leave Said Lucy, sat by the river Eating chips, wishing she was thinner Oh mom, I've let you down I wanna be friends with the family now But is goes so quick And in a blink It could all go down the bathroom sink Grab life In between the teeth 'Cause soon enough man, you'll be dead Don't watch the sunshine from your bed Take a bite There's a feast for you to eat 'Cause soon enough man, you'll be dead Don't watch the sunshine from your bed Irene Grab life In between the teeth 'Cause soon enough man, you'll be dead Don't watch the sunshine from your bed Take a bite There's a feast for you to eat 'Cause soon enough man, you'll be dead Don't watch the sunshine from your bed There's a man called Jack, lives down my road He built a house with his own hands Bricks and sand can make a home I wanna build a house like Jack
