I`ve been hanging round for days
still confused about the way you came
Take the portraits from the wall
take them down and burn them all
I know what I`ve become
By the marks upon their arms
there was nothing that they lacked in charm
But now I`ve got to choose
who from you is gonna lose
and who is going through
By the stories that were told
I decided to reject the bold
embrace the cowardly and the weak
we had laughs that lasted weeks
they`re inside and I sing here
Now I would swear this life is you
You`ve been around since we were twenty two
but now you`ve got the rush
when you`re cold and when you`re touched
I know things don`t mean much
`Cause we don`t know we`re strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we`re not in love
and now we`re singing out of tune
Just go out and get it straight
There are questions here that just can`t wait
Leave romantics to their spite
leave the footballs to their pints
alternatives we`ll find
But there`s nothing we can find
while our lives are plush and kind of fine
So we`ll all call it a day
people follow in our wake
a nothing`s hall of fame
`Cause we don`t know we`re strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we`re not in love
and now we`re singing out of tune
Come on babies, find a vein
Roll your sleeves up, find your arms insane
Walking out in little lines
down the corridors of life
and on to what you`ll find
Out the door and down the street
over fences glens and ditches deep
And who from us is gonna choose
who will win and who will lose?
I know it won`t be me
`Cause we don`t know we`re strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we`re not in love
and now we`re singing out of tune
`Cause we don`t know we`re strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we`re not in love
and now we`re singing out of tune
