SUPERSUB - WINDOW SHOPPING (1997)
Sing when your head is spinning round
And your feet don't touch the ground
It's a feeling they call love
Drive on a winding open road
That's how life's often been told
Got to take it as it goes
Down, down, deep in your heart
It's a feeling that's there from the start
And the picture in the frame
Still reminds you of the pain
That is down, down, deep in your heart
Smile as the world she smiles at you
It's the natural thing to do
But inside there's nothing new
Then it's to square one again
Then again and then again
Guess you learn to live with
All of the pain
Down, down, deep in your heart
It's a feeling that's there from the start
And the picture in the frame
Still reminds you of the pain
That is down, down, deep in your heart
Sing when your head is spinning round
And your feet don't touch the ground
It's a feeling they call love
Drive on a winding open road
That's how life's often been told
Got to take it as it goes
I've always been a sort of a Homeboy
Keeping my mouth closed at school
The roughs and the toughs didn'tbother me much
It was part of my daily routine
The keep yourself tidy rule
Was always a pain in the ass
The tie kept right, and the shoes shone bright
Mean't you stuck out as the fool of the class
Fool of the class, fool of the class
In town I had to hide low
Keep my eyes fixed on the street
They always knew, if you were Green or Blue
It was written all over your face
At night they'd come and find you
There was no hiding place
They took the beat from the streets
When we were very young
Made us all go through the pain
Fool of the class
Fool of the class
And your so, so busy running around on your own
You should be dizzy, watching the cars go, up in a fire glow
Hoping and dreaming for a better tomorrow
Springfield road
Life offers you a new sense of meaning
Gone is the smog, it lies somewhere below
I can feel my words healing
I've waited all week to get over the hill
And take in what's green and scenic
It's a natural drug, than could cure any thug
From all his disdemeaning
The upper Springfield Road
Time to wash and go, go
There's dancing in the sunlight
Rabbits and hares, all searching for a place
Musical Liars
Flowers in abundance, they dance to a tune
Played by the wind as it blows through the bloom
The bloom, the bloom
The upper Springfield Road
Time to wash and go, go
And we're dreaming about them
While living without them
Bloom, bloom, bloom
I'm tired of losing, sick of the bruising
Your verbal herasment, cuts me straight to the bone
We used to be lovers, wild under the covers
But why go in and out of the phase
And I don't see your face for days
When the push comes to the shove
You're always the one up above
And it's still tearing me apart
I'm burnt out on in the inside
Lost all of my pride
This loving feeling's gone thinner
Man, I feel I'm the sinner
Can't make space for thinking
So I've taken to drinking
All of my Godly wares, further down the drain
When the push comes to the shove
You're always the one up above
And it's still tearing me apart
When the push comes to the shove
You're always the one up above
Close my eyes, count to ten
Oh Lord, you're gone again
When I'm lying there on the floor
You're the bitch who always wants more
And it's still
Tearing me apart
Can't you see
It's tearing me apart
If I told you a secret
Could you keep it quietly
Just for a day or two
Or would you blow
Your mouth off to the first in line
Tell me truely
Have you ever shone like a diamond
Have you been the twinkle in someone's eye
I'll bet you've always been heaved
Gasping to breath for some air
Have you ever sparkled like a star
Playing the part in your fast car
Or are you not very sure now
Just where you are
Come on baby, can you fake it
It's written all over your face
Your life's a lie, a disgrace
If you could choose, you'd be in my place
Stop dragging me down
Can I have the mirror please
Put it in front of my pretty face
I've got to get out of this place
It's driving me completely barmy babe
Tell me truely
Have you ever shone like a diamond
Have you been the twinkle in someone's eye
I'll bet you've always been heaved
Gasping to breath for some air
Have you ever sparkled like a star
Playing the part in your fast car
Or are you not very sure now
Just where you are
Come on baby, can you fake it
It's written all over your face
Your life's a lie, a disgrace
If you could choose, you'd be in my place
Stop dragging me down
You know it's written all over your face
Your life's a lie, a disgrace
If you could choose, you'd be in my place
Stop dragging me down
Come on baby
Can you fake it
I'm in the closet with my head on the floor
Don't know when I'm on a downer or an upper
In the morning when I look like a ghost
There's only one thing that gets me
Turns me on the most, yeah
Cause I'm a smart shopper
I want my coffee to be proper, yeah
Cause I'm a smart shopper
Shopping out for good
In the weekend when I'm out out on the snow
When I'm spinning, I will give anything a go
I'm off my trolley, honey spent all my cash
If life's a cake, I'll make sure, sure I get a slice
Cause I'm a smart shopper
I want my coffee to be proper, yeah
I'm a smart shopper
Shopping out for good
And when I'm coming down
I try to smile through a frown
That's when I need it most
It's my daily toast
Cause I'm a smart shopper
I want my coffee to be proper, yeah
I'm a smart shopper
Shopping out for good
The cats are playing 'round
The answering device makes sound
There's people on the street
You think they're pretty good fun to meet
But I'll be staying home
I want to be alone
I just can't go elsewhere
When you're calling me
I just don't care
Show me the way to the door
I've been all night out on the floor
Cause you know you're a fool
And a fool is someone who thinks
The world is from him
We're all running too
We're all running too
We're all running too
We're all running too
Who knows where I'm bound
Today I don't wanne be found
There's people on the street
Who think I'm pretty good fun to meet
Clock clock tick tick tick
You know you make me sick
And I'll be staying home
I want to be alone
Show me the way around the town
I've been up there, now I'm coming down
Cause you know you're a fool
And a fool is someone who thinks
The world is from him
We're all running too
We're all running too
We're all running too
We're all running too
And though you may be far away
There's always room for you to stay
Cause a fool is fool, no exception to the rule
And a fool is someone who thinks
The world is from him
We're all running too
We're all running too
We're all running too
We're all running too
You said you'd lied to me and that was the truth
You thought you could be fancy-free, footloose
But reality bites hard when you're down
Turns you inside-out, throws you upside down
Everyday you pass the time away
Thinking of what you can say
It will get better now, you know you'll see somehow
Go on be game
Tell me have you been out on the scene
And you know you'll never be
All the things that you tried
And you know that you lied, right from the very start
Say a little prayer and see the girls go by
Then you'll know the reasons why
You can run, you will stun
But the fun is just to make it alright, alright
Don't try and run, before you can crawl
It's a passing phase, happens to us all
Loosen up but don't play the fool
Not too cool it's just not you
Everyday you pass the time away
Thinking of what you can say
It will get better now, you know you'll see somehow
Go on be game
Tell me have you ever been out on the scene
And you know you'll never be
All the things that you tried
And you know that you lied, right from the very start
Say a little prayer and see the girls go by
Then you'll know the reasons why
You can run, you will stun
But the fun is just to make it alright, alright
Rolling in like lovers, down under the covers
I thought this is it, this is mine
I was up in 7th heaven, sipping on a lemon
Floating around on cloud 9
When I awoke, I was lonesome, sitting on my own
She'd left a note, it said 'see you sometime'
How could she do it, I guess I'd gone and blew it again
She took me in, blew me out
And I could not believe it
Called her on the phone
And she told me to leave it
Saw her face to face, do you know just
What she had to say?
'I need more than a mouthful everyday'
As fate now should have it
I guess you've gotta grab it
Go for the kill when it comes
But man it sure ain't easy
Who said life was breezy
Whoever it was, he's a bum
You can make your own conclusions
Love is an illusion
Just ain't here for everyone
Unless you count your mother
Your sister and your brother
But that sure as hell ain't no fun
She took me in, blew me out
And I could not believe it
Called her on the phone
And she told me to leave it
Saw her face to face, do you know just
What she had to say?
'I need more than a mouthful everyday'
I've tried the lights down low
But it was just no go
I've tried more wine and dine
But's its the same, everytime
She took me in, blew me out
And I could not believe it
Called her on the phone
And she told me to leave it
Saw her face to face, do you know just
What she had to say, to say?
She took me in, blew me out
And I could not believe it
Called her on the phone
And she told me to leave it
Saw her face to face, do you know just
What she had to say, to say?
'I need more than a mouthful everyday'
Some say it's old, some say it's new
But I will never get it back from you
But when I tune into your station
No sound to me, just images reeling
Before the crack is in the ice
I think I'd go for just one more
I think I'd go for just one more
I said I'd swear to you and change
Everything that was a mess, we'd rearrange
So give me back my sense of feeling
No sound to me just images reeling
Before the crack is in the ice
I think I'd go for just one more
I think I'd go for just one more
You can scream, you can shout
but Sunny, I don't have a doubt
When I'm down, when I'm out
I'm sure we can work it out
All that I have is all I give
It doesn't matter how I live
So give me back my sense of feeling
No sound at all, just images reeling
Before the crack is in the ice
I think I'd go for just one more
I think I'd go for just one more
How you feeling now you're coming down
You've been out on the other side of town
Where all the boys go running round your head
And just for a minute you thought you were dead
How you feeling now it's wearing thin
It seems like pain but this is just the begin
Now you've learned, next time won't be the same
But I know you, you'll be back again
How you feeling now your empty-handed
Don't you listen boy, it's not the way we planned it
And now it's all so out of place
I guess you're just a stranger to your face
How you feeling now the job is done
Sure it was easy cash and just for fun
The speed you've got, now all you need is pace
But sooner or later, you'll fall flat on your face
How you feeling now your empty-handed
Don't you listen boy, it's not the way we planned it
And now it's all so out of place
I guess you're just a stranger to your face
How you feeling now your empty-handed
Don't you listen boy, it's not the way we planned it
And now it's all so out of place
I guess you're just a stranger to your
How you feeling now your empty-handed
Don't you listen boy, it's not the way we planned it
And now it's all so out of place
I guess you're just a stranger to your
