the bends
Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you
Alone on an aeroplane
Falling asleep against the window pane
My blood will thicken
I need to wash myself again
To hide all the dirt and pain
Cos I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
And who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?
My baby's got the bends, oh no
We don't have any real friends, no, no, no
I'm just lying in the bar
with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend,
waiting for something to happen
And I wish it was the sixties,
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen...
Where do we go from here
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you
They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines,
To blow me away, to blow me sky high
My baby's got the bends
We don't have any real friends
I'm just lying in the bar
with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend,
waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties,
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race
I want to be part of the human race, race, race, race
Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you
