|
I've been hanging round for days |
|
still confused about the way you came |
|
Take the portraits from the wall |
|
take them down and burn them all |
|
I know what I've become |
|
By the marks upon their arms |
|
there was nothing that they lacked in charm |
|
But now I've got to choose |
|
who from you is gonna lose |
|
and who is going through |
|
By the stories that were told |
|
I decided to reject the bold |
|
embrace the cowardly and the weak |
|
we had laughs that lasted weeks |
|
they're inside and I sing here |
|
Now I would swear this life is you |
|
You've been around since we were twenty two |
|
but now you've got the rush |
|
when you're cold and when you're touched |
|
I know things don't mean much |
|
'Cause we don't know we're strong enough |
|
and chances come too soon |
|
But people, people, we're not in love |
|
and now we're singing out of tune |
|
Just go out and get it straight |
|
There are questions here that just can't wait |
|
Leave romantics to their spite |
|
leave the footballs to their pints |
|
alternatives we'll find |
|
But there's nothing we can find |
|
while our lives are plush and kind of fine |
|
So we'll all call it a day |
|
people follow in our wake |
|
a nothing's hall of fame |
|
'Cause we don't know we're strong enough |
|
and chances come too soon |
|
But people, people, we're not in love |
|
and now we're singing out of tune |
|
Come on babies, find a vein |
|
Roll your sleeves up, find your arms insane |
|
Walking out in little lines |
|
down the corridors of life |
|
and on to what you'll find |
|
Out the door and down the street |
|
over fences glens and ditches deep |
|
And who from us is gonna choose |
|
who will win and who will lose? |
|
I know it won't be me |
|
'Cause we don't know we're strong enough |
|
and chances come too soon |
|
But people, people, we're not in love |
|
and now we're singing out of tune |
|
'Cause we don't know we're strong enough |
|
and chances come too soon |
|
But people, people, we're not in love |
|
and now we're singing out of tune |
