Roger Hodgson - Hide in your shell
Hide in your shell cos
the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain
making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell, was
the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind
painting your mind and playing joker
Too Frightening to
listen to a stranger
Too Beautiful to put
your pride in danger
You're waiting for
someone to understand you
But you've got demons
in your closet
And you're screaming
out to stop it
Saying life's begun to
cheat you
Friends are out to beat
you
Grab on to what you
scramble for
Don't let the tears
linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you
gained control
If I can help you, if
I can help you
If I can help you,
just let me know
Well, let me show you
the nearest signpost
To get your heartback
and on the road
If I can help you, if
I can help you
If I can help you,
just let me know.
All through the night
as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a
second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed
the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you
could see the world through my eyes?
Too Frightening- the
fire's becoming colder
Too Beautiful- to
think you're getting older
You're looking for
someone to give an answer.
But what you see is
just an illusion
You're surrounded by
confusion
Saying life's begun to
cheat you
Friends are out to
beat you
Grab on to what you
can scramble for
Don't let the tears...
... just let me know
I wanna know...I wanna
know you...
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you I
wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Can you hear what I'm
saying?
Well I'm hoping, I'm
dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're
thinkin'
See what you're
seein'Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down,
hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself
down?
Why don't you listen,
you can
Trust me,
There's a place I know
the way to
A place there is need
to feel you
Feel that you're alone
Hear me
I know exactly what
you're feelin'
cos all your troubles
are within you
please begin to see
that I'm just bleeding to
Love me, love you
Loving is the way to
Help me, help you
- Why must we be so
cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we're such damn
fools...
