Thread Name: Lyr Req: Big Old Life (Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem)
Subject: Lyr Req: 'Big Ol Life' Rani Arbo
I recently heard and purchased a song done by Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem called Big Ol Life. I have not been able to find the lyrics via internet search, so I am trying to write them down as I listen (repeatedly!). Here is what I have so far .... and you will notice in the 4th stanza (starting "Love me tender, love me not ...") that there are a few words that I know I cannot get. Anyone want to help? I may have missed a few other things. Listen to the song here ..... nice tune, cool, interesting lyrics.

Thanks,

Big Ol Life
Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem

Glass half empty, glass half full,
Depends on the day, depends on the fool
Who's asking, and the fool who replies.
He's going to drink it up anyway,
Doesn't really matter what you say,
Raise your cup to another day,
In this big ol life.

Door wide open, door closed down
Depends on the moon, depends on the clown
In your head, waving all those signs.
So skip the wherefors and shouldn't be's
Head straight for the exit please,
Step on to the path you made,
In this big ol life.

Sun comes up, sun goes down
On every small forgotten town
Shining on every soul,
spilling light in every dark hole.
There ain't a thing you got to do,
to let that sun shine down on you,
Step right in to this big ol life.

Love me tender, love me not
Depends on the flower, [depends on the ------
-------------- petals and the mirror? inside.]

Are you ready to rise and shine?
Are you ready to say be mine?
If you are then lets take a ride,
In this big ol life.

Are you ready to rise and shine?
Are you ready to say be mine?
If you are then lets take a ride,
In this big ol life.

If you are then lets take a ride
In this big ol life.
