PEOPLE
(M/T: Stanley Beamish)
People walking separately in different directions,
getting nowhere.
I don't think that's fair.
If destination doesn't change your situation,
what's the point in getting there.
I wish I could be where the sun never shines.
I wish I could be where it's cold and dark.
There are so many things that I don't want to know,
and so many places that I've got to go to.
I just can't say "No".
If there's anything I can do for you don't hesitate to tell me so.
I wish I could be where the sun never shines.
I wish I could be where it's cold and dark.
I wish I were yours and wish you were mine,
but the water's so deep and below I can see a shark.
What I need is eternal absolution,
and a further evolution of the brain.
What I need is an army full of wise men,
who could broaden my horizon for a change.
From the scars on my skin you can see I like to play it rough.
But you keep telling me I'm not suffering enough.
Now I'm down on my knees and I'm handcuffed.
No one could disagree. It's a strange kind of love.
Pain it's not easy but it always works.
I wish I could be where the sun never shines.
I wish I could be where it's cold and dark.
I wish I were yours and wish you were mine,
but the water's so deep and below I can see, deep down there's a shark.
