Lyrics
Point for Artist, Point for Title
Another Point for the Theme

  1. Don't be smart, be a beginner
    Don't be wrong, even when it's right
    Ordinary people it's okay, we're not watching anyway
    It's okay
  2. Marriage is an old and tired religion
    And I love all the traditional things
    Domestic bliss and all that shit
    Confusion is a definite direction
  3. Can't take your car to heaven
    Can't take God for a drive
    Unbeing dead, isn't being alive
    What's wrong with the air?
  4. And I never knew before
    But I feel like a child in a cold, cold war
    So strong, so tough
    Sitting in suburbia waiting for the wind-up
    And I don't want to dance,
    I just want to jump from your prison of circumstance
    Why am I thinking of
    You and me and a labour of love?
  5. I don't want to play this game no more
    If this isn't love I'm fighting for
    And if it was, then why would you let me feel
    So less than zero
