lyrics

EVERY FEBRUARY GETS A LITTLE SCARY
GREY SKIES GLOOMING, PRYING IN THROUGH MY WINDOW
TAKE A YEAR OF FIVE, JUST GIVE IT A TRY
AND FIND YOURSELF A DIFFERENT PERSON

I DON'T NEED NO CONSCIOUS SEDATION
TO MAKE ME FEEL ANY LESS THAN I FEEL
I WISH YOU COULD STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF
AND GET A BETTER LOOK AT THE MIRROR
MIRRORS AREN'T SO BAD

LIFE'S A JOKE THAT JUST HAD TO HAPPEN
TRY NOT TO LAUGH
IT WAS PUT HERE FOR YOU AND ME TO LOVE
OOPS IT'S MY BAD
TRY NOT TO LAUGH AT ME

DROP THE NEEDLE ON A FAVOURITE BEATLE
SHE'S MY BABY, YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I WANNA SING TO
FORGET ABOUT THE BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH
WHEN YOU START OVERTHINKING YOUR PROBLEMS

ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT CIVILISATION
AND PHILOSOPHICAL THINGS LIKE
JUST HOW LONG WE MAY LIVE FOR
MAYBE THE ANSWER WE NEED
IS IN THE STALE WEED OR
MAYBE IT'S ANOTHER DISTRACTION
AH MAYBE, BUT DISTRACTIONS ARE GOOD

HOW DEEP'S YOUR LOVE
HOW DEEP'S YOUR LOVE

IS IT AS DEEP AS YOU TOLD ME IT WAS YEARS AGO?
YOU TOLD ME SO
