"One Hell Of A Life" lyrics
(originally by Katell Keineg)
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
Lay be down in a wooden field
Plant a bush above my head
Well lay me, lay me down
Don't go writing on my grave
I'll have said it all before the end
Lay me, lay me down
When I'm dead
Please don't philosophize or feel regret
Just remember me when I said
I had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
I had one hell of a life
Throw my ashes to the wind
Watch them blow into the sea
Well throw me, throw me in
You can cry up there on cliff
Scream to heaven and work your grief
But throw me, throw me in
When I'm dead
Please don't philosophize or feel regret
Just remember me when I said
I had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
I had one hell of a life
(Build it high)
Fear and guilt accumulate
And time's never right to deal with it
Well maybe, maybe now
You can live your life on an endless weight
Or build it high on the present tense
Maybe, maybe now
When you're dead
They won't philosophize or feel regret
They'll remember you when you said
You had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
You had one hell of a life
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
When we're dead
They won't philosophize or feel regret
They'll remember us when we said
We had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
We had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
We had one hell of a life
(Build it high)
One hell of a life
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
Lay be down in a wooden field
Plant a bush above my head
Well lay me, lay me down
Don't go writing on my grave
I'll have said it all before the end
Lay me, lay me down
When I'm dead
Please don't philosophize or feel regret
Just remember me when I said
I had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
I had one hell of a life
Throw my ashes to the wind
Watch them blow into the sea
Well throw me, throw me in
You can cry up there on cliff
Scream to heaven and work your grief
But throw me, throw me in
When I'm dead
Please don't philosophize or feel regret
Just remember me when I said
I had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
I had one hell of a life
(Build it high)
Fear and guilt accumulate
And time's never right to deal with it
Well maybe, maybe now
You can live your life on an endless weight
Or build it high on the present tense
Maybe, maybe now
When you're dead
They won't philosophize or feel regret
They'll remember you when you said
You had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
You had one hell of a life
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
When we're dead
They won't philosophize or feel regret
They'll remember us when we said
We had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
We had one hell of a life
One hell of a life
We had one hell of a life
(Build it high)
One hell of a life
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
On serendipity
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
Build it high
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
(Build it high)
