oh, come and get a piece of me
there’s just one bit left
yeah they had the rest
too old, too old to run around
but too young to settle down
so i chose the middle ground
oh, can i say, i love you today?
can i say, there’s nothing getting in my way?
oh, nothing’s gunna bring down
after all that i found
at the bottom of the well
i, i am nothing more than you see
just a soul trying to be
so throw away the misery
yeah, that was me i was the fool
the very greatest of them all
took a tumble did i fall
oh, can i say, i love you today?
can i say, there’s nothing getting in my way?
oh, nothing’s gunna bring down
after all that I found
At the bottom of the well
yeah, i just got to sing it out
i’m too tired to shout
yeah, the love weighed it out
oh, nothing’s gunna bring down
after all that I found
at the bottom of the well

Underwater Garden

and you know how i’m feeling
you can read it in my eyes
i was never good at disguise
or deceiving you bad
though you made up your own stories
just to satisfy that mind
In your underwater garden
where the dream keeps running
and i, i wanna be just like that
yeah, swim off and don’t look back
yeah i, i wanna be just like that yeah
swim off and don’t look back
and i feel kind of sorry
for your life that’s without air
you were never right for this one
so you’re better off down there
where you chose a fantasy world
over truth before your eyes
it’s really silly baby
you’ve bought your own lies
and i, i wanna be just like that
yeah, swim off and don’t look back
yeah i, i wanna be just like that yeah
swim off and don’t look back
social paranoia
it’s going round your skull
it snatched up all your questions yeah it’s stealing your glow
yeah it’s stealing your glow
yeah it’s stealing your glow
yeah it’s stealing your glow
in your underwater garden

settle down baby it’s okay
and when it’s not i’ll see it in that face
those eyes can’t lie to me
can’t imagine baby there’s no words
if i’m this way then i know
your world
isn’t working
quite like it really should
yeah it’s okay
to live how you want to live
with nothing in the way
you give all you gotta give
but on that day
the sun was stolen from our skies
and now that there’s no day
i never get to see those eyes
whatever makes her mad whatever makes her sad
whatever makes her happy
won’t be long baby ‘till it’s time
to put it back and get on with this life
we really are the very lucky ones
don’t switch off baby know your mind
and while you wait
i’m kicking down the doors
the man needs for it’s profit wars
yeah it’s okay
to live how you want to live
with nothing in the way
you give all you gotta give
but on that day
the sun was stolen from our skies
and now that there’s no day
i never get to see those eyes
whatever makes her mad whatever makes her sad
whatever makes her happy
