Thea Gilmore - Lip Reading lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - Lip Reading lyrics]
Spare me the psycho babble
The mental rub down
For the third time today I put his record on
I caught this ailment on the rebound
I'm looking for another one
Just listen to the DJ
And follow the instruction
Yeah, you're all so passive you
Drive me to destruction
‘Cause you're melting yourselves down into
The cogs of mass production
And you're lip reading, you're lip reading
You've gotta see the designer souls in action
Flagging each disaster so you
Know where they've been
And I may be a sucker but
I don't see the attraction
‘Cause your name is mud round here
If you don't come clean
Now the bed-sit's and graffiti squats
Are up for rent and the rebels here today
Are just tomorrows accidents
And you've been walking white lines
But you're so hell bent
‘Cause you're lip reading, you're lip reading
You're not listening
It's more than you can manage
Trusting the soul transmission
Trusting the body language
In the distance someone plays
A music hall classic
And the small time pushers
Predicting snow again
Someone tells the songwriter to
Quit the theatrics
I expect revolution before I count to 10
So stand in line behind
The Miss World failures
Behind the leading voices and
Behind the drunken sailors
Put our hands together
Pray for these drowning men to save us
But they're lip reading, they're lip reading
Just pick up your bible
Of practical achievement
Step one is how to catch him and
Step two is how to keep him
Those halfwit's have to check their pulse
And make sure they are breathing
‘Cause they're lip reading
They're lip reading
Lip reading, they're lip reading
The mental rub down
For the third time today I put his record on
I caught this ailment on the rebound
I'm looking for another one
Just listen to the DJ
And follow the instruction
Yeah, you're all so passive you
Drive me to destruction
‘Cause you're melting yourselves down into
The cogs of mass production
And you're lip reading, you're lip reading
You've gotta see the designer souls in action
Flagging each disaster so you
Know where they've been
And I may be a sucker but
I don't see the attraction
‘Cause your name is mud round here
If you don't come clean
Now the bed-sit's and graffiti squats
Are up for rent and the rebels here today
Are just tomorrows accidents
And you've been walking white lines
But you're so hell bent
‘Cause you're lip reading, you're lip reading
You're not listening
It's more than you can manage
Trusting the soul transmission
Trusting the body language
In the distance someone plays
A music hall classic
And the small time pushers
Predicting snow again
Someone tells the songwriter to
Quit the theatrics
I expect revolution before I count to 10
So stand in line behind
The Miss World failures
Behind the leading voices and
Behind the drunken sailors
Put our hands together
Pray for these drowning men to save us
But they're lip reading, they're lip reading
Just pick up your bible
Of practical achievement
Step one is how to catch him and
Step two is how to keep him
Those halfwit's have to check their pulse
And make sure they are breathing
‘Cause they're lip reading
They're lip reading
Lip reading, they're lip reading
