Foreign Film

Life should be a film
One of those foreign films
Where people are always talking
And you just can't understand
But it means a lot

Life should be a book
A really, really good book
That you take when you travel
And hope it never ends
And you read again

Life should be like poetry
A pretty, pretty tree
Where words have their meanings
To help you understand
And say what you mean

You're giving me a stomachache
When you negotiate
You're giving me a stomachache
When you try and set me straight

Life should be a song
One of those 60's songs
With lots of catchy phrases
That everybody knows
So you can sing along

Life should be like poetry
A pretty, pretty tree
Where words have their meanings
To help you understand
And say what you mean

You're giving me a stomach ache
When you negotiate
And when you set me straight
You're giving me a stomachache

Life should be a tree
A poetry tree
