I've been hanging round for days 
still confused about the way you came 
Take the portraits from the wall 
take them down and burn them all 
I know what I've become 
By the marks upon their arms 
there was nothing that they lacked in charm 
But now I've got to choose 
who from you is gonna lose 
and who is going through 
By the stories that were told 
I decided to reject the bold 
embrace the cowardly and the weak 
we had laughs that lasted weeks 
they're inside and I sing here 

Now I would swear this life is you 
You've been around since we were twenty two 
but now you've got the rush 
when you're cold and when you're touched 
I know things don't mean much 

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough 
and chances come too soon 
But people, people, we're not in love 
and now we're singing out of tune 

Just go out and get it straight 
There are questions here that just can't wait 
Leave romantics to their spite 
leave the footballs to their pints 
alternatives we'll find 
But there's nothing we can find 
while our lives are plush and kind of fine 
So we'll all call it a day 
people follow in our wake 
a nothing's hall of fame 

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough 
and chances come too soon 
But people, people, we're not in love 
and now we're singing out of tune 

Come on babies, find a vein 
Roll your sleeves up, find your arms insane 
Walking out in little lines 
down the corridors of life 
and on to what you'll find 
Out the door and down the street 
over fences glens and ditches deep 
And who from us is gonna choose 
who will win and who will lose? 
I know it won't be me 

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough 
and chances come too soon 
But people, people, we're not in love 
and now we're singing out of tune 
'Cause we don't know we're strong enough 
and chances come too soon 
But people, people, we're not in love 
and now we're singing out of tune
