Little Things

It's the little things that make me smile
It's the little things that get me by
Cause no matter where I go I always see them there: little things

A flower in my neighbour's hair
The smell of cinnamon in the air
I don't need no sensation
No 15 minute-fame
No LSD injected in brain
It's the little things that make me smile
It's the little things that get me by
Cause no matter where I go I always see them there: little things

A yellow Beetle on the street
A ladybird crawling on my feet
I don't need no cathedral
No journey to the moon
No house in Rome with 700 rooms
It's the little things that make me smile
It's the little things that get me by
Cause no matter where I go I always see them there
It's the little things that make my day
It's the little things for which I pray
And I hope that when you look around you see them, too: little things

A needle which I just can't thread
An ugly spider on my bed
I don't like Monday morning
When I stayed up till five
I just don't like to say the word goodbye
It's the little things that make me sad
It's the little things that drive me mad
The devil's in the details, driving me insane
It's the little things that make me smile
It's the little things that get me by
Cause no matter where I go I always see them there
It's the little things that make my day
It's the little things for which I pray
And I hope that when you look around you see them, too: little things

(Text & Musik: Johannes Schult)

Jutze: Geschrieben am 10./11. Januar 2004. Der Text handelt offensichtlich von kleinen Dingen. "A shell-shaped cloud up in the sky", "A postcard from a friend" und "A cup of coffee at the end of the day" haben wohl oder übel nicht mehr ins Lied gepasst. Längere Diskussionen gab es anfangs darüber, ob die Spinne sich jetzt auf, unter oder im Bett befindet.
