Lyrics – Start Living

(Album: Matt Monro Sings) 1965

You wake up and be smart
You’ll never hear those drums while you twiddle with your thumbs
So, starting today, stop your work and find more time to play
Follow me and start living

Go polish up your grin, do some things you’ve never done
Start surprising everyone, when you start to glow
You’ll be the one that they all want to know
So have fun and start living

In one wild moment of madness, you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like a lawyer who has won the case

Go dress in style tonight, have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you have just started living

In one wild moment of madness you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like Perry Mason when he’s won a case

Go dress in style tonight
Have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you’ve just, now you’ve just, you’ve only just
Started living
Yes, you’ve started living
You’ve just started living
