Confessions Of The Mind

(clarke / sylvester)
Perfect lady housewife
Her totally detached
Sepulchre is painted white
Its gentique suite unscratched
A veritable show case
It shines like a new pin
Everything is in its place
And there's a place for everything

A, b, c, d. that's the way it's gotta be
1, 2, 3, 4. count them up and know the score

Foot upon the parquet
Makes her awfully vexed
Onset of vile anarchy
Oh lord, whatever next
Messiness is no excuse
It's showing no respect
Random factor introduced
Just goes and spoils the whole effect

Chorus

Efficient official
His patience overtaxed
Don't these people know that rules
Can never be relaxed
He could be humanised
You would never imagine
Everyone is categorised
And there's a place for everything

Chorus

(hicks)
She looks from side to side
The tear drops fill her eyes
As once again she hears the sound of shouting
Turns to the window pane
Funny there's rain again
Inside her head she hears the sound of shouting

They are fighting again
All she feels is cold and pain
She don't know whose side to take
Mother's or father's
She can't know that soon they'll part
That they broke each other's heart
They are breaking up, but she don't understand it

She leaves the room in fright
Each time they start to fight
She runs up to her bed
But there's no sleeping
Clings to her teddy bear
But even teddy bear can't stop her weeping

Little girl dry your eyes
Your ma and pa one day will put you wise
Little girl don't you cry
You'll understand what happened by and by

Verse 2

(clarke / sylvester)
Isn't it nice to be someone
Someone you've dreamed that you are
Isn't it such a nice feeling
The feeling you've wished upon a star

You have slipped down a rainbow
Discovered your own pot of gold
You are living your wildest dream
Use them you'll never grow old

Just like cinderella
But your clock will never strike twelve
You have something to envy
That everyone wants for themselves

You have slipped down a rainbow
Discovered your own pot of gold
Chasing moonbeams and catching the wind
And living stories you've been told

Verse 2

Isn't it nice to be somewhere
In places you've dreamed that you've seen
Isn't it such a nice feeling
Being where you've never been

Verse 1

(clarke / hicks / nash)
Give her a hand 'cos she gave a good show
Her makeup was right for the occasion
She did what she had to do, she said what she had to say
She played her part to perfection

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
Acclaim's not the same
Such a shame

The star of the show she was true to herself
And everything went as reported
Rumours about herself came along
That's when it all got distorted

Chorus

What a good show she gave
Happy to go on the stage
Was she to know it would change
Can she go on feeling strange

Chorus

(clarke / sylvester)
Man in a room, can't you see what you did
Pick yourself off the floor, it don't suit you, don't be blind

One lonely with four walls closing in
It's a room without any door
You've been on your own since she told you to go
I'm telling you why and what for

You're a man without a heart
Just a lonely man without a heart

Man can't you see what you did to yourself
Thinking it was so big at the time
I could have told you but i wasn't there
You shout her the wrong kind of line

Chorus

Pick yourself off the floor
It don't suit you to be in that frame of mind
Try to be more like a man with respect
Get on the right track, don't be blind

Chorus

Verse 2

Chorus

Verse 1

(hicks)
She goes away for a couple of days
So you phone a few number you fancy a change
You say you'll miss her but deep down inside
There are thoughts of another girl waiting somewhere for you

She's been away for a couple of days
The affairs weren't so good so you're mending your ways
You realise that there's nobody else who can do what she does for you
You tell yourself don't be a fool
Don't let her go chase as hard as you can
Or you'll be the loser
Swallow your pride you can still be a man
She'll never refuse you

She deserved to be loved, she wants to love you
If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do.

Baby i was lonely, still love you only, but i was a bad boy
Know you couldn't see me, thought you'd never leave me, so i was bad boy
Even though i'm trying, there is no denying i am just a bad boy
Met a little baby, thought she was a lady, still i was a bad boy

She gives me everything a girl's supposed to do
She gives me everything still i can't be true
She gives me everything, she gives me everything

Going off to different places
All i see is different faces
I love them all but not like you

She deserves to be loved, she wants to love you
If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do.

She deserves to be loved - yes she does, you know she does
She deserves to be loved - even if she goes away
She deserves to be loved - no one else can take her place
She deserves to be loved - you'll be the loser if you let her go
She deserves to be loved - she gives you everything a girl's supposed to do
She deserves to be loved - you love them all but she's the one for you
She deserves to be loved - yes she does, you know she does
She deserves to be loved - even if she goes away
She deserves to be loved - no one else can take her place
