Songs that mention the word "life" in them

[low-key]

"Life's Been Good"

I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far

My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

I make hit records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say I'm cool) (He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

I go to parties, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed

They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody say oh, yeah) (Oh, yeah)
I keep on going, guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I Would Die For You - Jann Arden

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't wash away
And then leave you in the dark
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
I've never kissed a sweeter mouth
I've never been swept away
It's what dreams are made up of
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah
I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't slip away
Yes I'm soaring thru your heart
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Life In The Fast Lane- Eagles

He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?

Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race

Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired
to fight about it

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worse

She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine
ring. We've been up and down this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway,
messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane

In My Life - The Beatles

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

Walk Of Life- Dire Straits


Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lua, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down mu walkin' shoes
Here come Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Decidation devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life

Better Be Home Soon - Crowded House

Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
[CHORUS]
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert
[CHORUS]
So don't say no
Don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause when you get back home
Maybe I'll be gone, oh
It would cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it
[CHORUS]
Oh, that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

My Life- Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

They will tell you you can't sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
With somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

Good Riddance(Time Of Your Life)- Green Day

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

To Life - Fiddler on the Roof


Here's to our prosperity, our good health and happiness,
and most important ...
To life, to life, L'chai-im!,
L'chai-im, L'chai-im, to life,
Here's to the father I tried to be,
Here's to my bride-to-be,
Drink L'chai-im, to life,
To life, L'chai-im,
L'chai-im, L'chai-im, to life,
Life has a way of confusing us,
Blessing and bruising us,
Drink L'chai-im, to life!
God would like us to be joyful, even when our hearts lie
panting on the floor.
How much more can we be joyful, when there's really
something to be joyful for?
To life, to life, L'chai-im,
To Tzeitel, my daughter--my wife,
It gives you something to think about,
Something to drink about,
Drink L'chai-im, to life!


To Lazar Wolf--
To Tevye!
To Tzeitel, your daughter--my wife!
May all your futures be pleasant ones,
Not like our present ones,
Drink L'chai-im, to life,
To life, L'chai-im,
L'chai-im, L'chai-im, to life,
It takes a wedding to make us say,
"Let's live another day,"
Drink L'chai-im, to life!
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps in honor of
the great
good luck that favors you,
We know that when good fortune favors two such men, it
stands to reason,
we deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes,
Here's to whatever comes,
Drink L'chai-im, to life!

Heaven bless you both, to your health and may we live
together in peace!
May you both be favored with the future of your choice,
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!

We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps in honor of
the great
good luck that favors you,
We know that when good fortune favors two such men, it
stands to reason,
we deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes,
Here's to whatever comes,
Drink L'chai-im, to life!

Someone Saved My Life Tonight- Elton John

• When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights
  The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
  Prima donna lord you really should have been there
  Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
  And it's one more beer
  And I don't hear you anymore
  We've all gone crazy lately
  My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
  
  And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
  You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear
  You nearly had me roped and tied
  Altar-bound, hypnotized
  Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
  You're a butterfly
  And butterflies are free to fly
  Fly away, high away, bye bye
  
  I never realized the passing hours
  Of evening showers
  A slip noose hanging, in my darkest dreams
  I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
  Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
  It's four o'clock in the morning
  Damn it! listen to me good
  I'm sleeping with myself tonight
  Saved in time, thank god my music's still alive
  
  And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
  You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear
  You nearly had me roped and tied
  Altar-bound, hypnotized
  Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
  You're a butterfly
  And butterflies are free to fly
  Fly away, high away bye bye
  
  And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river
  Clinging to your stocks and bonds
  Paying your h.p. demands forever
  They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
  Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
  Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
  Someone saved my life tonight
  So save your strength and run the field you play alone
  
  And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
  You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear
  You nearly had me roped and tied
  Altar-bound, hypnotized
  Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
  You're a butterfly
  And butterflies are free to fly
  Fly away, high away, bye bye
  
  Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
  Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
  Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
  Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
  Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
  Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight

In This Life ~ Madonna

Sitting on a park bench
Thinking about a friend of mine
He was only twenty-three
Gone before he had his time

It came without a warning
Didn't want his friends to see him cry
He knew the day was dawning
And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye

In this life I loved you most of all
What for?
'Cause now you're gone
And I have to ask myself
What for? What for?

Driving down the boulevard
Thinking about a man I knew
He was like a father to me
Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do

Taught me to respect myself
He said that we're all made of flesh and blood
Why should he be treated differently
Shouldn't matter who you choose to love

In this life I loved you most of all
What for?
'Cause now you're gone
And I have to ask myself
What for?

People pass by and I wonder who's next
Who determines, who knows best
Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn?
In this case ignorance is not bliss

In this life I loved you most of all
What for?
'Cause now you're gone
And I have to ask myself
What for?

People pass by and I wonder who's next
Who determines, who knows best
Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn
In this case ignorance is not bliss

Have you ever watched your best friend die?
(What for?)
Have you ever watched a grown man cry?
(What for?)

Some say that life isn't fair
(What for?)
I say that people just don't care
(What for?)

They'd rather turn the other way
(What for?)
And wait for this thing to go away
(What for?)

Why do we have to pretend?
(What for?)
Some day I pray it will end

I hope it's in this life
I hope it's in this life time
I hope it's in this life
I hope it's in this life time

I've never been before oh yeah

With you tonight

Life in One Day by Howard Jones

The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song

Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone

[Chorus]
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away

The old man said to me
Said you can't change the world single handedly
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne
And fill my glass again and again
While the wolves are gathering round your door
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone

[Chorus]

The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song

Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone

I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away

I bit off more than I can chew
Only so much you can do

Wolves are gathering round my door
Ask them in and invite some more

I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away

Don't try to live your life in one day
