Versatile verse 4

My hobbies are useful and they pass the time
And it's better than being bored and taking to crime.

I might get locked up with unpleasant types

I might get locked up with unpleasant types
Or worse, someone who plays bagpipes!

The pipes can be nice, but are deafening too

The pipes can be nice, but are deafening too
I think I would run and hide in the loo

Bathroom accoustics make me sound just fine

Bathroom acoustics make me sound just fine
But the cleaner in there smells of too much pine

Now I like a nice clean citrus scent

Now I like a nice clean citrus scent
Sandalwood too will leave me content

Soft fleecy towels that are ever so fluffy

Soft fleecy towels that are ever so fluffy
And a lovely room that isn't stuffy.

It's little things that bring us pleasure

It's little things that bring us pleasure
Like reading Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure

But then I know my staying power I’ve lost

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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?

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

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

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

But I know life is never that simple

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

My favourite colour is orange

My favourite colour is orange
A shade makes some folks cringe

It makes me feel happy and sunny

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

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

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

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
