Over You All - Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

Well (Lou is) alright hanging out in the wind He really just wanted to fly And I'm alright doing the same again You all understand I was shy And all the palm-readers have my natural resistance That was a bonus for you If I told you I loved you, yeh you know I was lying I was just trying one over you And all the paper elephants in the paper in the school They always used to make me laugh Now teacher said "you're learning" But I knew I was inside burning But these weren't tears for the craft And if you want to pretend you can help me any better You just got to let me fall Cos somewhere in a corner I know its alright I'm going to get over you all And I'm over you all Well God knows that's one to the competition Over you all Well God knows our lives take strange positions Well the angriest attitude don't fly so hot You play by the water and drink such a lot But I knew the reason to hang down my head It's better, I think, I just lie on the bed And sometimes it hurts but the hurting's not good It just makes you feel like a fool So somewhere along I can go (doing a throng) Any say I can do without you And I'm over you all Well God knows that's one to the competition Over you all Well God knows our lives take strange positions Somewhere inside A laughter in here has died Won't you come out to play, I know you played before boy I know you played before Well I'm tingling to your talking 'till I'm mud in your hands You know (I) have no power so the statement's kind of grand You say "I can save the world, yes I can solve your mind" Baby don't you tell me (?) blind in my mind's eye And I'm over you all Well God knows that's one to the competition Over you all Well God knows our lives take strange positions
