Lyrics
You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces
They don't want to say hello, like I want to say hello
Well, the heartbeat's at it's peak, when you're coming up to speak
And well I'm so tense and never tenser, could all go a bit Frank Spencer
And I'm talking gibberish, tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it
Properly, oh, it's all getting on top of me
And if it weren't this dark you'd see how red my face has gone, yeah
Everybody's trying to crack the jokes and that to make you smile
Those that claim that they're not showing off are drowning in denial
But they're not half as bad as me, say anything and I'll agree
'Cause when it comes to acting up, I'm sure I could write a book
And now that you're more than a part in the play
It's slightly easier to think what to say
You had us all standing on our heads
Doing our best tricks, yeah
Never again
Never again will there be another one quite as desirable as you!
One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces
