The PSP badge here was 'Collaboration station' - the brief: 'Collaborate with another writer from the PSP for your weekly song.' Here, I am joined by Suzi Woods, who sings lead on this track and who wrote the lyrics and much of the melody line.

lyrics

A cup of coffee in a cool café
People-watching as they hurry by
Half conversations about meeting so-and-so
If only they weren’t living on the fly
They’ve got a book full of foolproof excuses
For not doing what they oughta
A generation living life too fast
Mother, Father and
Son and Daughter
(Take) A final sip, leave my tip with the tab
Setting out to see what this day brings
I tell myself that it’s time to take the time
To enjoy the simple things

Kicking off my shoes I go barefoot in the park
Surrounded by a symphony of birds
They’re singing for the couple sitting on the new mown grass
With looks that say “I love you” more than words
And oh the peace and how the joy overwhelms me
Till I’m feeling intoxicated
And all those things that I believed that I needed
In this moment, seem overrated
A summer shower, through the leaves begins to fall
See the couple running for the swings
I hear them laughing as the rain then starts to pour
While me I’m loving life and simple things
Oh me I’m loving life and simple things
(Instrumental)
A cup of coffee in a cool café
When Life has got you running round in rings
Don’t forget to take the time to make the time
Just to find joy in simple things mmm
Try to find the joy in simple things ohh
Loving life and silly simple things
