I've got The Feeling

I've got a little something on my mind. To keep it to myself isn't really very kind. Pouring out my heart isn't usually my style. But you gave me an inch so I'm gonna take a mile. You see, I'm strong, but I feel like a mouse when you're gone. I'm weak, but I'll take on the world when you're here with me. Where the hell did you get that smile? I haven't seen one of them in a while. Cuz these days, I'm such a boy, I mope around like I've seen it all before, but something has changed. I used to be an open heart. What have you done to me? It could have been anyone. But it wasn't you and it wasn't him, it was me who felt like a fool right then. And I won't be the only one. It could have been anyone. Give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it. Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it. Cuz you've got my heart in a headlock. You stopped the blood and made my head soft. And God knows, you got me sewn. You could choose a friend but you don't seem to have the time. I wonder if you ever get to say what's on your mind. Take a little time. I love it when you call. I LOVE it when you call. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU CALL! But you never call at all. So, what's the complication? It's only conversation. I love it when you call, but you never call at all.

My pianos out of tune. I wish it wasn't. I wish that you were mine. I wish that my heart was stronger. My piano is out of tune. I WISH it wasn't! I wish we had more time. I wish that my world was softer... and I'm on a helicopter. I've had this feeling before. My heard is crawling in the mud, mud, mud. I'd feel much better, I'm sure, if I had a helicopter. I had a dream we went away, left this city for a day. You took me southwards on a plane and showed me Spain, or somewhere. But in reality you're not so keen to show me anything, and I thought you liked me. Hey, show some love. You ain't so tough. Come fill my little world right up. Right UP!

I turn on the tap and run some water. Flick a little switch on the wall... I'm hoping you remember what I taught ya. Hoping you remember me at all. I'm strong but I feel like a mouse when you're gone. And I'm weak but I'll take on the world when you're here with me. Can't you see you're in the wrong place? Will you please face it and come home? Everyone knows it. Can you deny it? I was the only one for you. Everyone knows it. Cuz we couldn't hide it. Nobody else got close. It's true! My love was stronger than you think. Much stronger now I've had a dream. Well, I hope you know that I miss you, and I wonder where you've been. And I wonder who you've seen, and I hope that he's a friend. Do I miss you? Yeah. Do I miss you? YEAH. All of a sudden the wind just changed direction. That big black cloud came rolling in. People in love get lost and foolish. People in love get everything wrong. People in love get scared and stupid. People in love get EVERYTHING wrong! At least they're not lonely.

B-b-b-baby, I think I'm going c-c-c-crazy. And why should I be sane without you? They tell me to fight it, but they can bloody well just try it. I'll never be the same without you. Never be lonely. Remember me? I used to be the best-time buddy who you couldn't wait to see. But getting old, it takes its toll, and hearts getting broken lead to people growing old. This telephone's out of use. I wish somebody would take me to your door. I wish that my world was finer, and we were an ocean liner. I've had this feeling before. My heart is crawling in the mud, mud, mud. I'd feel much better, I'm sure, if I had an ocean liner.

So, what are you gonna do with all this stuff? ...pilling up, filling up, taking up. You misunderstand me. All I wanted was some evidence that you really like me. You really liked me. Maybe it's all too much. How come we're so messed up? Maybe I'm not enough... maybe I'm just too much. I put the dog out for you. Travelled beneath wards for you. Down where it's rumbling, suburbs left crumbling. Here's where the fun begins. It's true. But I never knew anyone to make me run, but you do. And that's when the blue picadilly takes me away from the city. Maybe someday you'll forgive me. Twelve stops and home. You journeyed downwards for me. There ain't much left down here to see. You're just too cool for me. You made quite a fool of me. You brought out the school in me, but I never knew anyone tougher than you. And baby I think that I love ya, and there's a short sign above ya. Cuz ain't it a shame? There's another! I think I'll go home. Why are you here again? Twelve stops and home. There is no better friend. Twelve stops and home. Look at the time we spent. Twelve stops and home. When will it ever end? That's when the blue picadilly takes me away from the city. Maybe someday you'll forgive me. Twelve stops and home.
