There was a time that I thought that I'd died   The very next day I felt so alive   I decided not to keep living with fear   So odd a time after 16 years      The sunshine falls in my new home   Like everyone else I'm all alone   With all the back alleys of a life   Always the bridesmaid, never the bride      If you walk right up to me   Tell me you believe   That you really wanna fit in   'Cause sometimes I feel this way   Feel so far away      And when I was young, your bedroom was dark   Stared out in wonder at the outside park   But the voice in the corner would say to you   You won't escape from the teenage blues      So you walk right up to me   Gave those pills to me   Right as I (?) after slumber   And sometimes I feel this way   Feel so far away      Remember apple trees in the garden of our home   Remember walking down Wood Street   Frozen to the bone   Remember Shirley MacLaine in "Some Come Running"   Comes running back to you      All at once I feel sick inside   Swallow twice, here come blue skies   But you won't ever have liberty   Until you put this feeling in a dictionary      You walk right up to me   Tell me you believe   In the politics of passion   And sometimes I feel this way   I feel so strong all day      You've been living out your life   Through half-closed eyes   You've been living out your life   Through half-closed eyes   Dreaming of utopia   Did you ever, can we ever, will we ever   And the rain falls down in North London town   And our love is so strong    But we can go wrong   And it's great to be up like me   It's so good to kiss you, all your (?) will be   Just like raspberries   Just like raspberries
