"The Bends"


Where do we go from here 
The words are coming out all weird 
Where are you now, when I need you 
Alone on an aeroplane
Fall asleep on against the window pane
My blood will thicken

I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain 
Cos I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath 
But who are my real friends 
Have they all got the bends 
Am I really sinking this low 

My baby's got the bends, oh no 
We don't have any real friends, no, no, no 

Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on 
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen 
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy 
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen 

Where do we go from here 
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear 
And where are you 
They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines, 
To blow me away, to blow me sky high

My baby's got the bends 
We don't have any real friends 

Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on 
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen 

I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be part of the human race 
I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race 

Where do we go from here 
The words are coming out all weird 
Where are you now when I need you
