lyrics

I was only thnking out loud
I knew I was in the wrong
I only said what we all
were thinking all along
I couldn't help but move my lips
you didn't have to smile
you shouldn't have to put up with
treatment like that anywhile

someone told me yesterday
that everything is real
but you could get in trouble
for doing what you feel

for doing what you feel


Many a true word's said in jest
but a lot of that's not true
you start by meaning what you say
and finish by saying what you'd do
the road to hell is paved in good intents
you don't say what you mean
you spend your life not really living
your conscience nearly clean

someone told me yesterday
that everything is real
but you could get in trouble
for doing what you feel

for doing what you feel


I can't get my head around these modern things
like false security
your friends seem so sympathetic
and say the same thing happened to me
the instant when your back is turned
the whispering begins
and your lovelife's had more speculation
than the shroud of turin

someone told me yesterday
that everything is real
but you could get in trouble
for doing what you feel

everything is real
for doing what you feel


I could turf the money lenders out of the temple
but that could turn out rash
I don't get paid 'til the end of the month
so what would I do for cash?
You can fight hypocrisy all your life
but you've got to stop for breath
and it springs up again like clumps of weeds
and it stays until the death

someone told me yesterday
that everything is real
but you could get in trouble
for doing what you feel

I could turf the money lenders out of the temple
but what more could I do for cash?


primary colours are fighting for space
everything is real
technicolour's fucked my head
I can't think or move or feel
I can't help but think fluffy bunnies
my mind is shot to hell
or maybe fucked to fairyland
or disneyland as well
