The Groovebirds - Better Way Lyrics

Nigel stepped outside today
Looked to the north, and then looked away
At breakfast he had nothing to say
Its just his way

The family gathered together in play
And Nigel seemed as happy as they
In open air and catching the rays
From in the shade 

Its a dog's life, but its mine
Its a hard life, but its fine
Full of old strife, and a line; and a line
Its a dog's life, but its mine 

And meanwhile over the fence
The twilight's gleam was intense
As good life's clover was passing to hay
The debt and the corporate schemes
Had rained down on the dream
And rusted the sign to Better Way

In people passing by on their way
Some black and white, and some of them grey
I see the path that I walked yesterday
When I would say 

Its a dog's life, but its mine
Its a hard life, but its fine
Full of old strife, and a line; and a line
Its a dog's life, but its mine 

Meanwhile over the hill 
Another day is a thrill
To be like one with nothing to say
A clean divorce from the crowd
As we fly north through the cloud
That darkens the path to Better Way

To Better Way
