1. One Life to Live - John Eliot Gardiner/Anne Sofie von Otter (安.索菲.范欧塔)/NDR-Sinfonieorchester[00:00:00]
There are many minds in circulation[00:00:12]
Believing in reincarnation[00:00:15]
In me you see one who doesn't agree[00:00:18]
Challenging possible affronts[00:00:22]
I believe i'll only live once[00:00:25]
And i want to make the most of it[00:00:28]
If there's a party i want to be the host of it[00:00:31]
If there's a haunted house i want to be the ghost of it[00:00:35]
If i'm in town i want to be the toast of it[00:00:38]
I say to me every morning[00:00:45]
You've only one life to live[00:00:49]
So why be done in[00:00:53]
Let's see the sun in[00:00:55]
And gloom can jump in the river[00:00:57]
No use to beat on the doldrums[00:01:01]
Let's be imaginative each day is numbered[00:01:05]
No good when slumbered[00:01:11]
With only one life to live[00:01:13]
Why let the goblins upset you[00:01:15]
One smile and see how they run[00:01:19]
And what does worrying get you[00:01:23]
Nothing the thing is to have fun[00:01:26]
All this may sound kind of hackneyed[00:01:31]
But it's the best i can give[00:01:34]
Soon comes december[00:01:38]
So please remember[00:01:39]
You've only one life to live[00:01:41]
Just one life to live[00:01:44]
She says to her every morning[00:01:51]
She's only one life to live[00:01:54]
So why be done in[00:01:58]
Let's let the sun in[00:02:00]
And gloom can jump in the river[00:02:01]
What you collect at the grindstone[00:02:05]
Becomes a millstone in time[00:02:08]
This is my thesis[00:02:12]
Why go to pieces[00:02:14]
Step one while you're in your prime[00:02:16]
You may say that i'm an escapist[00:02:19]
But i would rather by far be that[00:02:22]
Than be a red tapist[00:02:26]
Lead me speed me straight to the bar[00:02:29]
Just laugh at old man repression[00:02:33]
And send him into oblivion[00:02:37]
Then you're the winner[00:02:40]
I'm off to dinner[00:02:42]
I've only one life to live[00:02:44]
Just one life to live[00:02:46]
