Lyrics
Flicker
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.
These days, looking sideways
Sadness, not from heartache
Cold shoulder, the way you look at me, me, me, me
I’m losing my axis
Looking at the recess
This pressure, the way you look at me, me, me, me
They say don’t even try to resist
Look at what you've been given
Be grateful and don’t take the piss
When the people on TV they all look the same
I know I can do
I can do better than them
When you’re down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
Cos you know what they don’t
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
They flicker, flicker, flicker
But they ain’t gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me
Back then didn't notice
They called it subversive
No longer withheld by what you think of me
They say don’t even try to resist
Look at what you've been given
Be grateful and don’t take the piss
When the people on TV they all look the same
I know I can do
I can do better than them
When you’re down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
Cos you know what they don’t
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
They flicker, flicker, flicker
But they ain’t gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me
Well they ain't no sun
Well they ain’t no flame
We are not the same, no no no no
When you're feeling down
When you’re down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
Cos you know what they don’t
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
They flicker, flicker, flicker
But they ain’t gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me
