It's not the way the earth must feel that opens up my eyes
Shades of green around my head
There's more to more to mine
And they'll never notice
But I'm glad I did
And they'll never notice
There's more to me than this
It's funny how we laughed out loud and ended up in tears
Shades of green and purple if the coat fits coat fits wear it
And they 'll never notice
But I'm glad I did
And they'll never notice
There's more to me than this

You think I am made of iron
You think I am made of steel
You think I have got no heart
I am not supposed to feel hurt or pain or any of those things
Or any of those things
But oh how I do
In my house there is a window
In my house there is a view
In my house there is a person
Who shall love and nurture through
Hurt or pain or any of those things
Or any of those things
Oooh oooh oh oh
I've been waiting so long I have clung to the saddest songs
I've been waiting all these years for this to arrive
You think I am made of iron
You think I am made of steel
You think I have got no heart
I am not supposed to feel hurt or pain or any of those things
Or any of those things
But oh how I do
And oh how I do feel pain I do feel pain
I am hurting once again
I do feel pain I do feel pain
I am hurting once again
(c) Julie Grant
I'm standing there
Left on the shelf
Left once again
To plaster the bricks and mortar
I taught myself
Never to beg
If you're not there
I'll always find someone else
It's over over over over over and out
(c) Julie Grant
Disability takes a hold on me
And some morbid curiosity makes them wonder why
How can I go when the pain strikes tells me no?
Burning deep in to my bones
Burning burning
Why do you question what I say?
Generosity comes pouring out of me
I have drained my body's energy totally dry
Isolation breeds insanity
I want independence more than I want money
Burning burning
Why do you question what I say?
If you read about me you will learn about me
If you listen to me you will understand me
If you read about me you will learn about me
If you listen to me
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Did you really mean to do your very best for me?
If you tried then I can't recall ever noticing
Push me to the back of your mind
Wipe all memories
I was never part of your life anyway
I got by somehow you tore at my seams
I don't know how I came this far you ruined me
Stole my life and took my only happiness away
Now there's emptiness and dust lies in this place
Push me to the back of your mind
Wipe all memories
I was never part of your life anyway
I have fallen I am down
Don't pick me up off my knees in shame
I have fallen I am down
Don't pick me up off my knees in shame
Here lies dust in this place
Here lies dust in this place
Lies dust in this place
Here lies dust in this place

You're not wise to everything
I'm so wise to you
I have tried
I am tried
I give you the warning sign but you fail to blink an eye
Look my way don't look right through me
I'm a part of everyday life
Living for another moment in the hope of catching two
Sensing your loneliness I'm
Passing time passing time for you
I could write a thousand words or more
I could fill a thousand empty pages yeah
Look my way don't look right through me
I'm a part of everyday life
Living for another moment in the hope of catching two
I could write a thousand words or more
I could fill a thousand empty pages yeah

Killing sound inside outside turn it down
You say nothing to me
I said each line is out of key
I will
Sing to you
Sing to you
Sing to you
Sing to you now
Tra la la la
Killing sound in monotone you're talking round
All seventeen repetitious verses
I said each line is out of key
I will
Sing to you
Sing to you
Sing to you
Sing to you now
Tra la la la
I can't find a melody
There's only one idea in me
(c) Julie Grant
I'm allowed to say this is how I feel and I say
You are blinded by your negative old ways
I'd run you over if I could
(But I couldn't care less now)
Get out the way for this is how it's going to be
(But I couldn't care less now)
I'm here to stay and this is how it's going
When alone there's you
Shouting big ideas from your mouth
I'm not taken in like the rest have been
I'd run you over and I should
(But I couldn't care less now)
Get out the way for this is how it's going to be
(But I couldn't care less now)
I'm here to stay and this is how it's going
(But I couldn't care less now)
La la la la la
La la la la la
(But I couldn't care less now)
Get out the way for this is how it's going to be
I'm here to stay and this is how it's going
Get out the way for this is how it's going to be
I'm here to stay and this is how it goes
La la la la la la la la la la
(But I couldn't care less now)
You'll never stop me now
You'll never stop me now
You'll never stop me now
You'll never stop me now
La la la la la la la la la la

Faster and faster they go
Sixty miles and hour
Gathering all they should know
In both hands
That's alright by me
This is the way they deserve to live
Tested the scenery out
Tuned for selection
Beautiful creature alive
Safe inside
That's alright by me
This is the way they deserve to live
Oh you know I
Oh you know I
Oh you know I do
That's alright by me
This is the way they deserve to live
