The Importance Of Being Idle
Oasis (Noel Gallagher) Lyrics

I sold my soul for the second time, 'cause the man don't pay me.
I had to compromise my principles for a second time because my employer fails to compensate me properly.

I begged my landlord for some more time, he said "Son, the bill's waiting."
I pleaded with my landlord to extend my payment deadline, but he insisted on receiving payment immediately.

My best friend called me the other night, he said, "Man, are you crazy?"
My friend expressed concern about my behavior and decisions, questioning whether I am rational.

My girlfriend told me to get a life, she said, "Boy, you lazy."
My girlfriend criticized me for not having a more active and fulfilling life, viewing me as lazy.

But I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
Despite others' opinions, I am content as long as I have a comfortable sleeping arrangement under the night sky's beautiful vision.

I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I assure you that I will be okay if given just a bit of time, as everyone has their breaking point.

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.
I cannot improve my life situation if I lack motivation and passion for what I am doing.

I lost my faith in the summertime, 'cause it don't stop raining.
During the summer, my faith or optimism diminished as there was continuous rainfall that seemed unending.

The sky all day is black as night, but I know I can't blame me.
The daytime sky is consistently dark as night, but I acknowledge that I cannot be held responsible for the weather.

I begged my Doctor for one more line, he said "Son, words fail me!"
I pleaded with my physician for another prescription, but they could not provide it, claiming that words cannot express why it is not feasible.

There ain't no place to be killing time, I guess I'm just lazy.
There is no location or activity that I can use to fill my idle time, which leads me to believe that I am simply sluggish or lethargic.
