Envy is a natural human quality, whether it's coveting someone's job, house, age or even their hair!

lyrics

The Grass is Always Greener

Vs 1

Vs1
Said the jeweller to the judge
I don’t like my job that much
I just listen to watches tick
You get a seat and a really big wig
You see happiness everyday
Replied the judge in a sad way
I send men to their doom
You see love itself bloom

Vs 2

My caravan is so tiny
That’s why I sound so whiny
I wish I had a bigger bed
Or at least somewhere to stretch my legs
____________________________________________
The home I own has 19 rooms
A tennis court and a swimming pool
House cleaning takes so long
Is a downsize really wrong?

Chorus:
The grass is always greener on the other side
That’s the kinda life that I want to try
That’s the kinda life that I want to lead
That’s the kinda person that I want to be

Vs 3
I wish I was young again
Make more money and better friends
My eyesights not so good
I can’t drink like once I could
____________________________________________
I can’t wait until I’m old
I’m tired of doing as I’m told
The older I get the better I’ll be
At playing this bloody thing

Chorus:
The grass is always greener on the other side
That’s the kinda life that I want to try
That’s the kinda life that I want to lead
That’s the kinda person that I want to be

Vs 4
Curly hair is such a pain
An impossible matted mane
I have heard many reports
It’s much easier straight and short
______________________________________
Straight hair is such a bore
What would you want it for?
I’d like to have some curl
A real hair-do to unfurl

Chorus:
The grass is always greener on the other side
That’s the kinda life that I want to try
That’s the kinda life that I want to lead
That’s the kinda person that I want to be

The Rin Tins Bristol, UK

Keep them dancing.
That’s the ethos that The Rin Tins have kept since their inception in early 2011 and since then the sextet have strutted from one stage to another playing high octane gypsy swing to the party hard masses.
With music that combines 5 part harmonies with swing jazz rhythms and pounding oompa beats, for 7 years they've been filling dance floors & festival tents across the UK. ... more
