Versatile verse 4

Old petrol cans made into lamps seems bizarre
I made a strange lamp out of an old guitar.

When switched on it plays a song by Queen

It means old stuff given a new lease of life
Saving the planet ideas at the moment are rife

Old petrol cans made into lamps seems bizarre

Mr Google will have to tell me about that
Alas, my knowledge has fallen quite flat

It means old stuff given a new lease of life

Plus I know I am doing my bit by recycling
There’s a new word I’m hearing, it’s called upcycling.

Mr Google will have to tell me about that

Flapper dresses from the Roaring Twenties
Make great statement pieces and very trendy

Plus I know I am doing my bit by recycling

I don't like to follow fashion, I find it rather boring
I prefer vintage - repairing and restoring
Flapper dresses from the Roaring Twenties

I like some good pieces of really smart design
But I add something homemade to make it mine

I don't like to follow fashion, I find it rather boring

Once I did a design course and learnt a few tricks
Just a few quirky things to throw into the mix

I like some good pieces of really smart design

So just aim for accent to brighten my room
But I do like to have a wow factor to make people swoon

Once I did a design course and learnt a few tricks

On a bright orange sofa or maybe just a lamp
Too many loud colours will just look camp

So just aim for accent to brighten my room

It makes me feel happy and sunny
So I'm off out to spend my money

On a bright orange sofa or maybe just a lamp

My favourite colour is orange
A shade makes some folks cringe

It makes me feel happy and sunny

But I know life is never that simple
Never as easy as popping a pimple

My favourite colour is orange

Some kind of injection to make me lose pounds
So very easy - how good that sounds

But I know life is never that simple

Oh for a body that shrugs off the calories
Healthy foods that dont gobble up salaries

Some kind of injection to make me lose pounds

Why is what we enjoy so bad for our health
And then the better stuff may dent our wealth

Oh for a body that shrugs off the calories

If I invented some calorie-free chocolate I'd win an award
Must engage my will power and try really hard

Why is what we enjoy so bad for our health?

I chug along to the fridge, for my next comfort food
But I've put on the pounds and wish the door was glued

If I invented some calorie -free chocolate I'd win an award

With a box of my favorite chocolates to eat
Then, getting out of my chair, that’s no mean feat!!

I chug along to the fridge, for my next comfort food

I’ll open the blinds and the sun will blast in
Ill put on the music and make a great din

With a box of my favorite chocolates to eat

Ill relax by my fire and sit stroking my cat
Read some books, nothing serious, all tat

I’ll open the blinds and the sun will blast in

There is much joy in nature and the simple things
And waiting to see what each new day brings

Ill relax by my fire and sit stroking my cat

In each day I'm granted upon this good earth
I must try to be grateful and spread some mirth

There is much joy in nature and the simple things

Turn over a new leaf and concentrate my mind
To savour the days and the pleasures I find

In each day Im granted upon this good earth

But then I know my staying power I've lost
Wasting so much time claims a high cost

Turn over a new leaf and concentrate my mind
