lyrics

COMFORTABLE SILENCE

I fell in love
With everything that I'm prepared to tolerate
I won't exaggerate
I've not felt this good in ages

I found the answer
It was coded in the question from the start
Blown this world apart
I preferred it in the dark

I'm in demand again
My presence is required in every corner
My private quarters are slap bang in the middle
Goodbye sweet lonliness
The noise annoys and I've been losing patience
So I'm pretending that I don't know you again

I'm still amazed
They let you get away with daylight robbery
A case of petty snobbery
Don't let them catch you with that gun

They pulled apart
The fabric on which all my thoughts were based
I know I can't retaliate
There is no homeland for the homeless

I'm in demand again
My presence is required in every corner
My private quarters are slap bang in the middle
Ignoring calls again
Tell the world to cancel all appointments
I'll be defending what I've never had before

I'd keep your mouth shut
'Cause you'll do twenty years for what you're thinking
Missed when you were blinking
You'll be the only person in there
It's come to this
A situation no-one had predicted

I'm moving home again
My presence is required in quiet corners
I found myself
I found myself comfortable in silence
In silence...

It's come to this
The one conclusion no-one had predicted
All the world had missed it
Now you'll pay the price forever and a day

Now you're falling to the ground
Please don't make a sound
Get out of it!
Get out of it!
Get out of it!
