Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
A Monthy Python Song, originally written by Eric Idle for the film Life of Brian.
The Sisters quoted a capella from this song during their performance at Reading Festival 1991
within a medley between He's Got The Whole World In His Hands and 1969.
An audio recording of this unique performance is featured on both the Brothers & Sisters bootleg cassette
and the Brothers And Sisters bootleg CD. It also forms an important part of the Live Reading 91 limited edition
7" picture dics box. * Our thanks go to sisterstekland for the lovely 2-cam video here below...
Lyrics
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing
And always look on the bright side of life
Come on!
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow
So, always look on the bright side of death
A-just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
C'mon Brian, cheer up!
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Worse things happen at sea, you know
Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what have you got to lose
You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing!
Always look on the right side of life....
Nothing will come from nothing, you know what they say?
Cheer up you old bugger, c'mon give us a grin!
There you are, see, it's the end of the film
Incidentally, this record is available in the foyer
Some of us have to got live as well, you know
(???)
Who do you think pays for all this rubbish
They're not gonna make their money back, you know
I told them, I said to them, Bernie, I said they'll never make their money back
