Quartz |
| I can imagine nothing more tedious |
| Than trying to have fun with you again |
| Maybe it’s just something in my mind |
| But I hate feeling like I’m trying all the time |
| It’s a kind of lie |
| When we pretend that we’re still friends |
| I’m sure you’re not exactly short of people to |
| Hang out and laugh at your jokes |
| Tell you you look great |
| You wouldn’t want me around |
| Making it all feel «forced » |
| . |
| And «put down» |
| And every time I smile to wonder if I’m laughin' at you |
| And with every little grin you don’t want to be wonderin' |
| Just exactly what it is I’m taking pleasure in |
| Although I always said |
| We were basically the same and all one |
| All one |
| It’s so easy to persuade myself |
| I’m clockwork and you’re quartz |
| I guess that irony |
| Will surely be |
| The death of me |
| And every time I smile d’you wonder if I’m laughin' at you? |
| And with every little grin you don’t want to be wonderin'. |
| Although I always said |
| We were basically the same and all one |
| All one |
| It’s so easy to persuade myself |
| I’m clockwork and you’re quartz |
| You’re only happy when you’re oiled and jewelled |
| You’re only happy when you wind me up and I know |
| You’re so reliable it isn’t true |
| And it’s so easy for me to break down |
| If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then |
| We could join hands and understand. |
| Hallelujah! |
| But I listen |
| To the ticking |
| I guess we’re worlds apart… |
| It’s so hard |
| So hard |
| I know there’s no going back |
| And you know there’s no going back |
| You’re only happy when you’re oiled and jewelled |
| You’re only happy when you’re oiled and jewelled |
| You’re never happy |
| I need maintenance |
| I need patience |
| I’m not foolproof |
| I’m not waterproof |
| I’m not shockproof |
| Bombproof |
| Bulletproof |
| Fireproof |
| Leakproof |
| Childproof |
| Stainproof |
| Pressureproof |
| I know I told myself |
| We’re all basically the same and all one all one |
| Y’know sometimes I just can’t help myself |
| I’m clockwork and you’re quartz |
| I’m clockwork and you’re quartz |
| I know I never get the balance right |
| And turn up half an hour late night after night |
| And being totally dependable is so very commendable |
| Although you’re never wrong |
| One of these days. |
| You’re just gonna stop |
