Small Things - Nerina Pallot

It’s the simple things

Sunshine when the forecast’s rain

A smile from strangers on the train

When you feel like d**h at 8am

It’s the little things

See a penny pick it up

All day long you’ll have good luck

I heard that in a movie somewhere

I think it was with John Travolta

And in the end all the good guys won

But only just or else nobody would watch

It’s the small things in the end

The little things you’d least expect

Oh when you hold yourself together with sellotape

It’s the small things mean the most

Oh when you’re giving up the ghost

And you’re wondering how much more you gotta take

It’s the little things

No-one there when you get home

And though they’re nice it’s good to be alone

So you can party in your underwear

It’s the simple things

A message from a long lost friend

Fifteen minutes 'til you’re at the end

Of a week that’s straight from hell

Til you’re savouring a cool Corona

Cause in the end all the good guys won

But only after trials and tribulations were done

It’s the small things in the end

The little things you’d least expect

Oh when you hold yourself together with sellotape

It’s the small things mean the most

Oh when you’re giving up the ghost

And you’re wondering how much more you gotta take a lot

You take a lot

You take a lot

You take a lot

You know you do

Ooh ooh

But it’s the little things

The little things

The little things

The little things

That pull you through

They pull you through

It’s the small things in the end

The little things you’d least expect

Oh when you hold yourself together with sellotape

It’s the small things mean the most

Then when you’ve given up the ghost

And you’re wondering how much more you gotta take

It’s the little things (little things little little things now)

Oh the little things (little things little little things now)

That put you through
