Ocean Colour Scene

Up on the Downside

This England made me,
Between a war and a rocket span,
You've found a crib it saves me,
And teach me wrong and right,
And the world was talking,
Never got it's chance to say,
When there's too much talking,
Nobody hears a word you say

You won't see,
So baby now I won't hear,
It's blind communications,
Only lasts throughout the year,
And half of what we're saying,
Is half-way to the truth,
It's blind communications,
For a million heart and fools
Em, A, D, B x2
I am a witness,
To a land of a million fools,
All placing bets on life,
And hate the ones you lose,
And all who're lonely,
Never get the chance to say,
The fact that one and only,
Will be the chance to even play
You won't see,
So baby now I won't hear,
It's blind communications,
Only lasts throughout the year,
And half of what we're saying,
Is half-way to the truth,
It's blind communications,
For a million heart and fools
Hello monday,
The weekend's just a blur,
I've been burning bridges,
and now I'm begging at your door,
So keep on working,
Cos it's a chance for me to play,
Cos there's too much talking,
When you believe the words I say
