Jules, Gary - The Devil Keeps Grinning Lyrics

I found this song 13 years ago and I still listen to it from time to time. It never gets old but tight ropes on the fine line of nastalgia. I was ib high school when I forst heard it. Still beautiful and relevant.

He sounds like Jack Johnson

"The Devil Keeps Grinning"

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star

Sisyphus I feel you boy
Roll roll rolling that rock all day
No one lends a hand along the way
They just smile and say
"See you soon, see you soon, see you soon
See you when the war is over
See you when this gravity stops pulling me around
When I get my feet up off the ground
Finally lay this burden down
I'll come running"

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about all my sinning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now

But you oh you
Never be lonely
Never blue
Ooh never be lonely
Never blue

There's poetry in sickness
Life is beautiful and cruel
That's just the way it is
And I can sleep but I can't rest
They say the old songs are the best
And I am still a young man

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Everybody is a star... look it up.

who else cried the first 30 times they heard this song

democracy now

This song will never get old to me. I can still sleep to this on repeat. "Beautiful"

This song will never get old to me. I can still sleep to this on repeat. "Beautiful"

É possível ouvir e não gostar!? Não, não é.

do you get that the "woo-hoo" is a reference to Symphaty For The Devil-The Rolling Stones! beautiful!

everybody is a star.  Just look it up

+Jared Collins Sly suggestion

There's poetry in sickness
Life is beautiful and cruel
That's just the way it is
And I can sleep but I can't rest

OOH HOO

This guy's actually pretty good. Glad I decided to look beyond Mad World today. :)

same here. amazing guy. happy with my discovery.

This and Falling Awake are faves off Gary Jules album, but I love Mad World too
as it's so impacted with integrity.

R u supposed to feel depressed or uplifted listing to this? ?

haha right? its like, there are some really good songs out there that aren't just the stupid, superficial songs that are made popular. Sometimes though there are really talented people that bend their music to the platonic ideal of the modern day.

you must not listen to very much music.

Like x 100000000000000
Gary Jules I am enfatuated with your deep , amazing , wonderful songs.
Thank You for existing !!

Keep it a secert everyone only when its a secert its beatiful.

hermano, baya canciones, me suscribo :D

what type of music is this

its sad to see talented artists never make it. the music industrys so obsessed over ratings and money. the media doesnt care for talent as long as that garbage artist makes them money. the world is so un openminded about what the truth is. thats why commercials have celebritys in it to boost ratings then rather having an experienced person talk about the product. then youll see celebritys in movies, and magazines unrelated to their genre. its all about ratings and money no more talent

massparody well said

NO! :D

Żal mi tego co jest na nie! xd

Haha!! I was refraining to spark off my New Atheist rant. Good to see another Atheist. Peace bro.

Ah, you said "rapers" instead of "rappers", that confused me. Thought you were another one of those random preachers having a rant at yet another song. I take it back :)

Is this a positive or negative comment to the song?

me too!!

hes like jack johnson

Woohoo thanks for the music, cya soon!

Thanks to Mad World or not, Gary Jules is unique with an unmistakenabe voice and
sheer genius to create the songs he put out.

@TheBeatlessssss i think he's very popular. thanks to mad world...

Finally some good music. A wonderful break form the shit the music industry calls music.

Lets spread his music to others! Facebook, twitter anything this is the third song today I have heard of him. He is truly amazing

TAAAABS!!! tabs tabs tabs!!!

My grandfather is recently deceased and this song reminds me of him X( I hope he's in a better place.....,

My favorite song on the album, easily.
