12) DON’T SMILE (breetveld)
For the days and the nights, thank you
For the days of our lives, thank you
For the cheese and the spice

For the deals and the chores, thank you
For the saints and the whores, thank you
For the nights it rains
and the April snow showers
Ah

Don’t lose your head in the world
Don’t lose your head

Settle down, settle deep
Try to hear, try to speak
Someone who needs for you to say you love them
Don’t smile
Ah

For the thoughts and the deeds
For the grapes and the seeds, thank you
While the smile meets good fortune,
tell you, don’t smile
Ah

Don’t lose your head in the world
Don’t lose your head
Don’t lose your head in the world
Don’t lose your head
