歌詞

Well, when my friend’s down

I heard he breathed hard from his pain

Said I didn’t wanna leave him now

Felt the heating summer must remain

Well, sure I remember he was brown

And I tried to find my feet to sustain

(Must relax but it acts ev’ry time)

Shut the lid down, shut the lid down

Just like a-down the pickle jar

No matter how big they are

I mean you sweep troubles under the carpet

(You have to sweep-a troubles under the rug)

Well, I'm-a walking down the street

With trouble in my mind that I can't owe

You know I am a-total-defeat

I must know that the wind is to blow

From the mountains to at my feet

I ought to know very well from a long time ago

(Must relax but it acts ev’ry time)

Shut the lid down, shut the lid down

Just like a-down the pickle jar

No matter how big they are

I mean you sweep troubles under the carpet

(Shut the lid down ev’ry time)

I mean you have to sweep your troubles under the carpet

And when you must open it is when you leave all you met

If he came running to me again

When I wake up in a morning

I know I’m gonna be happy for sure

I know I’m gonna hear you roar

Shut the lid down, shut the lid down

Just like a-down the pickle jar

No matter how big they are

I mean you sweep troubles under the carpet

(Shut the lid down ev’ry time)

I mean you have to sweep your troubles under the carpet

And when you must open it is when you leave all you met

I want to see you smiling at me

Cause that’s what it should be

Don’t you let the sun begin to fade

Or shall we move to a shade

If only I could get my head up

Just like lifting a cup

We would go to the nice urban park

I know I’m gonna hear you bark

And all the memories will spark

Come on boy, jump on the ark

I can stand with you even in the tallest dark

Until you came I didn't see the stars

Don't you see how it meant that there you were
