I can imagine nothing more tedious |
|
Than trying to have fun with you again |
|
Maybe it's just something in my mind |
|
But i hate feeling like i'm trying all the time |
|
It's a kind of lie |
|
When we pretend that we're still friends |
|
I'm sure you're not exactly short of people to |
|
Hang out and laugh at your jokes |
|
Tell you you look great |
|
You wouldn't want me around |
|
Making it all feel "forced " |
|
..and "put down" |
|
And every time i smile to wonder if i'm laughin' at you |
|
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin' |
|
Just exactly what it is i'm taking pleasure in |
|
Although i always said |
|
We were basically the same and all one |
|
All one |
|
It's so easy to persuade myself |
|
I'm clockwork and you're quartz |
|
I guess that irony |
|
Will surely be |
|
The death of me |
|
And every time i smile d'you wonder if i'm laughin' at you? |
|
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'.. |
|
Although i always said |
|
We were basically the same and all one |
|
All one |
|
It's so easy to persuade myself |
|
I'm clockwork and you're quartz |
|
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled |
|
You're only happy when you wind me up and i know |
|
You're so reliable it isn't true |
|
And it's so easy for me to break down |
|
If i could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then |
|
We could join hands and understand. hallelujah! |
|
But i listen |
|
To the ticking |
|
I guess we're worlds apart ... |
|
It's so hard |
|
So hard |
|
I know there's no going back |
|
And you know there's no going back |
|
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled |
|
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled |
|
You're never happy |
|
I need maintenance |
|
I need patience |
|
I'm not foolproof |
|
I'm not waterproof |
|
I'm not shockproof |
|
Bombproof |
|
Bulletproof |
|
Fireproof |
|
Leakproof |
|
Childproof |
|
Stainproof |
|
Pressureproof |
|
I know i told myself |
|
We're all basically the same and all one all one |
|
Y'know sometimes i just can't help myself |
|
I'm clockwork and you're quartz |
|
I'm clockwork and you're quartz |
|
I know i never get the balance right |
|
And turn up half an hour late night after night |
|
And being totally dependable is so very commendable |
|
Although you're never wrong |
|
One of these days.. you're just gonna stop. |
