White Town

Once I flew And it made my fingertips sing I was more like a God than a king Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though you don't believe me I know You look where I'm standing now You can't believe I left the ground Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel life passing by? If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you Once I flew And the angels were my friends They would grant my every whim Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though it's easy to forget I don't seem to have managed yet And I don't think I ever will Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel life passing by? If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you Astronauts And in my dreams I am happy again You're in my arms and we're flying again Flying away

I think I need another lover I think I need another lover I think I need another lover Like I need a hole in my head Why do you chase me and play hard to get When you know very well that I couldn't care less I could never find a girl like you Appealing With your soft boiled head And hard boiled views You're a baby maggie thatcher in trendier shoes It would make me laugh If it wasn't quite so depressing Do I really have to tell the world I've already found my perfect girl I see you're furious cos I'm staying calm Well my fidelity is not prey to your charms I bet you never thought someone who looks like me Could be so choosy So go back to the bar and I'll stay here In the same little corner I've stood for years With the geeks and the freaks My unfashionable clique Of losers Do I really have to tell the world I've already found my perfect girl Is it so hard to understand Look at my third finger Left hand
