(kirsty maccoll/pete glenister) it wouldn\'t take a long time to explain what lies between us and it wouldn\'t take a genius to work out what the scene is it might just take a pilot to give you a natural high but you\'re sending off those bottletops for your \'free piece of mind!\' and are you just waving or drowning? it\'s so hard to tell when you\'re so far away
oh innocence has passed you by a long long time ago i was the fly upon your wall and i saw what you know your pornographic priestess left you for another guy you frighten little children and you always wonder why always wonder why
the mercury is rising and it\'s not all that surprising in the land of milk and honey where you make \'big money\' and it always keeps the rain off and it always keeps you dry but back home the people hate you and you never did know why but i think i\'m going to tell you just give me fifty thousand lire for my thoughts
oh innocence has passed you by a long long time ago i was the fly upon your wall and i saw what you know the supermarket checkout girl once smacked you in the eye when you eat no one else does but you always wonder why always wonder why
it would take a gunshot just to clear your head awhile and after all this time how can you stand there look at me and smile?
now are you just waving or drowning? it\'s so hard to tell when you\'re so far away
oh innocence has passed you by a long long time ago i was the fly upon your wall and i saw what you know degeneration suits you, now i\'m going home to cry you won\'t be seeing me again but you\'ll always wonder why always wonder why
