lyrics
We've known each other since we were small,
we talk so much yet not at all.
I've tried to find some common ground,
you're quick to surmise it can't be found.
You've got your finger in every ear,
from Adelaide to Inis Oirr.
There's no test that I can take,
no race to run, no claim to stake.
I guess you'll break my heart again.
Oh I know, I'm nobody without your love
or your quiet praise.
Would you love me with more sex appeal
and love me until the end
or break my heart again.
I don't know what you want from me,
skinny jeans or dungarees.
To disappear or be replaced,
with a leaner model of Ivan Yates.
Suffer me for I embrace
our different worlds, our different tastes.
Ignore me once, ignore me twice,
believe me now there won't be a thrice.
Oh yes, you'll break my heart again.
Oh I know, I'm nobody without your love
or your quiet praise.
Would you love me with more sex appeal,
or high on temperance.
Would you love me if I never tried,
and gave up everything.
If I gouged out both of my eyes,
and washed them in the sink.
If I wipe the smirk right off my face,
and get tangled up in flames.
If I found myself a new career,
a doctor or a priest.
If I was 10 feet under the ground,
a distant memory.
Would you love me if I wasn't a freak?
