Lyrics Don't Just Do Something - Spiritualized

Don't Just Do Something

Sometime
They say that love is blind
But I think that dumb is what they had in mind
I could let it go But I’d rather know
If I sit around
will another show
Sometime
I get to fly so high
that the sun burns my wings but I will fly
just a little too far
'cause that’s where you are
and I won’t bring you down
believe in me Sometime
I like to sit around
I’m just contemplating sitting round
I could lay in bed
Like my mamma said
Don’t just do something
Sit around instead
Sometime
If I may say myself
I’m not bad at life, I’m not good as well
And though life goes on I can plainly see
just what is it for
if it’s not for me Sometime
Though it’s a big surprise
I may compromise the thing I most desire
I can say with pride
hold my head up high
that I had a great idea
but never mind
Oh babe
I’m going nowhere
nowhere’s where I wanna be Oh babe
I’m good for nothing
Nothing is good enough for me Anything, anything can come to anybody
Everything, everything can come to someone
Sometime
Oh babe
I’m good for nothing
Nothing is good enough for me Anything, anything can come to anybody
Everything, everything can come to someone
Sometime
Sometime
Opportunity passes right by me didn’t even slow
I can’t breath and think
And I need a drink
All this common sense
made a fool of me Sometime
I like to sit around
I’m just contemplating sitting round
I could lay in bed
Like my mamma said
Don’t just do something
Sit around instead
Sometime
I like to fly so high
that the sun burns my wings but I will fly
just a little too far
'cause that’s where you are
and I won’t bring you down
believe in me Sometime
I get me all confused
And the reasons why I confuse you to I could be with you
Try to sort it out
If I tell the truth
I like to lie about
Sometime
Though it’s a big surprise
I may compromise
the thing I most desire
I can say with pride
hold my head up high
that I had a great idea
but never mind
Sometime
I like to sit around
I’m just contemplating sitting round
And though life goes on I can plainly see
All this common sense
made a fool of me
I don’t wanna live
but I can’t resist
I’ve got some reasons
and I made amends
I’m gonna drown before my ship comes in and I forgot to ring my mom again
and life ain’t good without cigarettes
