Sitting there eating your heart out Jealous of people who don't seem to question life Caught in a maelstrom, missing the moment Rhyme without reason, chained to your bed Should have done this, would have done that Superficial life always finds you in a trap Still you judge, bear the grudge, anyway You don't have to prove yourself to me We don't have to judge each other constantly You don't have to lose yourself for me It's enough to breathe together, letting each other be Another year slipping between us The tree's grown, what have we to show For all the time spent in excess Will we say, 'if we'd only known' Could have done this, would have done that Should have pulled a rabbit from our hats But we still play the game the same anyway There are times I see through the madness Clues in our instincts, like the urge to run wild Talking to people, dance 'round the fire There is communion in all our desires Let's drop the act, face the facts Two ends of the same stick, you and me
You make me laugh! The kind of people who live in Bungalows in the uk are the OP's..The, we Trust the government without question people.. And they Used to Be the butlers for the aristocracy..years back.. Now they have risen as it were above their station.. and are living in bungalows, Loving the royal family and voting for the Tories every 4 years, looking down on the rest of us scum. They are the antithesis of us Misfits and ne'erdowells...They are the DEATH of creativity. Or the Birth of it perhaps as Nature abhors a vacuum..so it is said. However, as soon as I come in to lots and lots of money TFH, I shall Buy you a bungalow, pay for a dry eyed sniffly butler, and get you a visa to come over so you can try the lifestyle my darling!@@tinfoilhatter

Sitting there eating your heart out
Jealous of people who don't seem to question life
Caught in a maelstrom, missing the moment
Rhyme without reason, chained to your bed
Should have done this, would have done that
Superficial life always finds you in a trap
Still you judge, bear the grudge, anyway
You don't have to prove yourself to me
We don't have to judge each other constantly
You don't have to lose yourself for me
It's enough to breathe together, letting each other be
Another year slipping between us
The tree's grown, what have we to show
For all the time spent in excess
Will we say, 'if we'd only known'
Could have done this, would have done that
Should have pulled a rabbit from our hats
But we still play the game the same anyway
There are times I see through the madness
Clues in our instincts, like the urge to run wild
Talking to people, dance 'round the fire
There is communion in all our desires
Let's drop the act, face the facts
Two ends of the same stick, you and me
Bloody great lyrics! And APT!
