(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)      How long can you stand   Tightening up   Avoiding the fight   Avoiding the truth   Tighten the smile   Tighten the lie   Will you get what you want   To be cursed with your dreams   I hope for your sake   Something gets in the way      How long can you stand   Living under the lens   The kiss of success   The ensuing, all consuming, mess      Message of love   They arrive everyday   People you touch   Wasting away   People you don't know   Give you no choice      And you're sick to your stomach   At the sound of your voice   And the shape of your face   And the sound of your name   They send you pictures of yourself   It's someone you don't know   And they call you a genius   Cause you're easier to sell   But the fire in your belly   That gave you the songs   Is suddenly gone   And you feel like a fake   Is that what you want?    I hope for your sake..   You've got what it takes   You've got what it takes   You've got what it takes   To be spoilt to death
