Nick Harper – Simple – Lyrics of profound simplicity. This is how life should be!!

IMG_0589

Nick is a genius on guitar, vocals and lyrics. The message is simple – we can make this world a wonderful place, learn to be nice to each other, be peaceful and happy – or we can be nasty, intolerant, callous, hate-filled bastards.

It’s simple.

Simple

Simple

Simple

No drums, no bass,
No style, nice easy pace,
Simple

Same chords, different order,
Nothing to declare at the border,
Simple

Same cut, same chase,
Same old shoes, same old face,
Simple
Simple

Same faults, same flaws,
Do re mi, and that’s all,
Simple
Simple

I’ve got everything I need
I’ve got everything I need
I’ve got everything I need
And more…

Glass of wine, laugh at a joke,
A good time down the line, if it ain’t broke,
Simple
Simple

Acoustic guitar, and a kiss on the cheek,
Edited highlights of the week,
Simple
Simple

Food, clothing, shelter,
Simple
Simple

Life, the universe and everything,
Simple
Simple

We’ve got everything we need
We’ve got everything we need
We’ve got everything we need
And more…

No symbol, no logo, no product placement,
No market, no how, no no no no no no no,
Simple

No enticing jiggerycakery,
No icing from the bakery,
Simple
Simple

One, two, three,
Simple
Simple

Life, the universe and everything,
Simple
Simple

We’ve got everything we need
We’ve got everything we need
We’ve got everything we need
And more…

Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple
Simple

  1. Nick does have a dry wit, and some wisdom. He can be a laugh, and be profound. Mostly he is very entertaining, but knows how to challenge the things he sees as wrong without getting too preachy!

  2. It’s so simple and the majority don’t see it. We are in paradise and don’t know where we come from or where we are going, so be nice to one another please! It’s simple!!!!!!!

    1. Simple indeed. Yet the greed, selfishness and hatred clog up the arteries and impair the vision.
      love one another.
      It’s simple!
      Thanks Andrew!

  3. Pedant Alert ! First word of the song is a shouted N _ A _K _E_ D and it`s No enticing jiggery cakery , no icing from the half-bakery.
    Brilliant song and ocassionally bastardized on long journeys to `Whimple` after a small town near us here in Devon
