Story behind the song
I wrote this in my teens, and have produced it slightly differently from how I played it live.
Lyrics
Life is short the day is long We barely get to sing our song The verses hold our destiny But we are blind, we do not see To us our lives are nothing big We go along don't think of it Until we're on our dy'in bed It's then we see just what we had You only got one life to live You only got one life to live You might as well live it in peace 'Cause you only got one life to live Live it good Live it fine Don't try and mess up mine! We go from young to old and on We live for life and do no wrong We can't conceive reality To us it's just a cup of tea But it is so much more than that And when we think we've got it sacked Well then we learn we really don't But in truth we always won't You only got one life to live You only got one life to live You might as well live it in peace 'Cause you only got one life to live Live it good Live it fine Don't try and mess up mine! Don't try and mess up mine!

I'm probably not the best one to judge this piece as it's not a type of music I'm too crazy about. Vocals themselves were OK, but I didn't like the timing/phrasing on the choruses. Could have used a lot more stereo separation between channels. Sort of a Ted Nugent/Black Sabbath 70's Hair Band sound, but for fans of that genre I think most folks would like it if they heard it.
