Zobot - Love Don't Carry No Weight Lyrics

"What do I want? To live and not to suffer," he answered
And again he listened with such concentrated attention
That even his pain did not distract him
"To live? How?" asked his inner voice
"Why, to live as I used to-well and pleasantly"
"As you lived before, well and pleasantly?" the voice repeated

At the park taking photos of the tennis court
I asked what is it you do that for
Blocky colors and the straight lines
Give a little bit of piece of mind
She said I used to work in black and white
Now the colors treat me alright
The way the sun hits the bricks
Reminds me that I gotta hit the bricks

It was like a reminiscence of somebody else
As soon as the period began which produced the present Ivan Ilych
All that had then seemed joyous now melted before his sight
And turned into something trivial and often nasty

For somebody like
For somebody like you
For somebody like
For somebody like you
For somebody like
For somebody like you
For somebody like
I've been waiting for somebody like you

I need a verse to make my case
A universe to find my place
Maybe I'm closer than I realize
When I see the world through your eyes
I don't have a thing to offer you
Just a person you can suffer through
The feeling's coming on strong
So what's keeping me from holding on?

For somebody like
For somebody like you (You know I'm talking about this weight)
For somebody like
For somebody like you
For somebody like
For somebody like you
For somebody like (Love don't carry, love don't carry no weight)
I've been waiting for somebody like you

It is as if I had been going downhill while I imagined I was going up
And that is really what it was. I was going up in public opinion
But to the same extent life was ebbing away from me
And now it is all done and there is only death"

I was thinking this would be our year
Then I got this ringing in my ear
You know this world is a heartbreak
And love don't carry no weight
But I'll always love the way you think and see
Even if you don't think very much of me
I'll remember you forever at the Falls
Taking pictures of the walls

Love don't carry no weight
Love don't carry no weight
Love don't carry
Love don't carry
Love don't carry no weight
For somebody like
For somebody like you
For somebody like
For somebody like you
I've been waiting for somebody like you

Why, and for what purpose is there all this horror?
But however much he pondered he found no answer
And whenever the thought occurred to him, as if often did
That it all resulted from his not having lived as he ought to have done
He at once recalled the correctness of his entire life and dismissed so strange an idea
