Quartz - Live
I can imagine nothing more tedious
Than trying to have fun with you again
Maybe it's just someting in my mind
But I hate feeling like I'm trying all the time
It's a kind of lie
When we pretend that we're still friends
I'm sure that you're not exactly short of people to
hang out and laugh at your jokes
Tell you you look great
You wouldn't want me around
Making it all feel "forced"
.and "put down"
And every time I smile to wonder if I'm laughin' at you
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'
Just exactly what it is I'm taking pleasure in
Although I always said
We were basically the same and all one
All one
It's so easy to persuade myself
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
I guess that irony
Will surely be
The death of me
And every time I smile d'you wonder if I'm laughin' at you?
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'.
Although I always said
We were basically the same and all one
All one
It's so easy to persuade myself
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
You're only happy when you wind me up and I know
You're so reliable it isn't true
And it's so easy for me to break down
If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then
We could join hands and understand. Hallelujah!
But I listen
to the ticking
I guess we're worlds apart ...
It's so hard. So hard
I know there's no going back
And you know there's no going back
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
You're never happy
I need maintenance
I need patience
I'm not foolproof
I'm not waterproof
I'm not shockproof
Bombproof
Bulletproof
Fireproof
Leakproof
Childproof
Stainproof
Pressureproof
I know I told myself
We're all basically the same and all one
All one
Y'know I just can't help myself
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
I know I never get the balance right
And turn up half an hour late night after night
And being totally dependable is very commendable
Altough you're never wrong
One of these days. you're just gonna stop.
Than trying to have fun with you again
Maybe it's just someting in my mind
But I hate feeling like I'm trying all the time
It's a kind of lie
