DE TEMPS EN TEMPS

Do you ever feel like the hits such a long time away?

I can't take this feeling for more than an hour a day

I can't wait the time for you to decide what you want to be

I don't want to counteract what you inject into me

I step up, I want to make you proud of me

You slap me down and walk right all over me

I can't take these feelings that you shake all over me

Just like a pepper pot of hate and denial to see

I rolled up and you just walked away

I couldn't work out what I was meant to say

This time is just too hard for me

Even when you put it to reality

The pain just shivers through my tongue

Killing off what's left of my lungs

I screw it up and try to start again

Oh de temps en temps

We sailed that ship so far across the seven seas

Taking on every man and his troops and parades

There was a man on board oh he had a flute

But everybody knows no-one likes a guy who toots

I don't understand why you put the anchor down

I don't want to stop all this floating around

Especially when the other half of who's involved

Is just as much a fuck up as you'll ever know
