Story behind the song
Why do we often spend our lives chasing what we don't need or what we've already got?
Can't talk now, must go shopping.
Lyrics
I don't know (he don't know)
What to do (what to do)
Always have to have (always always)
Something new (something new)
Serenity slipping from my weakling grip
Water toture going drip drip drip
I know what I want, where to go, who to be
Just not this, not here, not me
Then you untied the blindfold so I could see
What was always in front of me
What I've been looking for for so long
You've been here, my love, all along
Watching these compulsions fill my head
When all you need is what Lennon said
Something you can have until the world turns black
Something you can hold that will hold you back
I'm obsessed (he's obsessed)
Against my will (against his will)
Relentless quest (relentless lentless)
For the next big thrill (next big thrill)
Three for a fiver
Seven for a ten
Seaside novelties again and again
Grubbing for more and more and more
Coal scuttle fingers in the knick knack drawer
Then you untied the blindfold so I could see
What was always in front of me
What I've been looking for for so long
You've been here, my love, all along
Watching these compulsions fill my head
When all you need is what Lennon said
Something you can have until the world turns black
Something you can hold that will hold you back
Blindfolded gagged and bound
Can't move can't see can't make a sound
Too self obsessed to see
You had already rescued me
Then you untied the blindfold so I could see
What was always in front of me
What I've been looking for for so long
You've been here, my love, all along
Watching these compulsions fill my head
When all you need is what Lennon said
Something you can have until the world turns black
Something you can hold that will hold you back
Something you can have until the world turns black
Something you can hold that will hold you back
Something you can have until the world turns black
Something you can hold that will hold you back
