イヤな事だらけの世の中で
サザンオールスターズ Lyrics

月はおぼろ花麗し
春は霞か桜は紅枝垂

簾越しに鴨川は流れ
祗園囃子に浮かれて蝉時雨

溜め息に訳など無いわ
未練など嗚呼嗚呼
悲しみを置き去りにして
慰めの言葉で殺めてくれ

イヤな事だらけの世の中で
ひとり生きるのは辛いけど
この町はずれの夕焼けが
濡れた頬を朱で真っ赤に染める

ええオンナ

嵐山は化粧いいろは紅葉
黄金に揺れる稲穂に秋あかね

心乱れ人恋しや
凍てつく胸に小雪が舞っている

あてもなくさ迷いながら
この世から嗚呼嗚呼
躊躇いがよぎるその前に
とびきりの笑顔で逝かせてくれ

ある朝目覚めたその場所は
君と結ばれた花見小路
憎たらしいほど惚れさせて
いつか地獄の底で待ってる

嘘ばかりつく女
それを真に受けた男

イヤな事だらけの世の中で
登る坂道は向かい風
あの懐かしい日の想い出が
酔えば身に染む涙ホロリ

ええオンナ
