avoiding all work because there's none available like battery thinkers count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers nothing is wasted only reproduced get nasty blisters du bist sehr schon but we haven't been introduced
(Chorus)
confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (parklife) and morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as (parklife) John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons they love a bit of it (parklife) who's that gut lord marching... you should cut down on your porklife mate... get some exercise

know what I mean I get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen (parklife) I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house (parklife) I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous well being (parklife) and then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it (parklife)
(Chorus)
parklife (parklife) parklife (parklife)
it's got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know and it's not about you joggers who go round and round and round parklife (parklife)
(Chorus x 2)

I got my head checked By a jumbo jet It wasn't easy but nothing is No
When I feel heavy metal And I'm pins and I'm needles Well I lie and I'm easy All the time but I am never sure Why I need you Pleased to meet you
I got my head down When I was young It's not my problem It's not my problem
When I feel heavy metal And I'm pins and I'm needles Well I lie and I'm easy All the time but I am never sure Why I need you Pleased to meet you
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh Yeah
You're taking the fun Out of everything Making me run When I don't want to think You're taking the fun Out of everything I don't want to think at all
There's no other way There's no other way All that you can do Is watch them play
You're taking the fun Out of everything You're making it clear When I don't want to think You're taking me up when I dont want to go up anymore I'm just watching it all
There's no other way There's no other way All that you can do ls watch them play
I'll watch you play
Sorry But I don't understand The things you say They make no sense at all Funny But I think that you mean them all This time
Don't you I know that you think I'm a fool But couldn't you try To forgive a fool One more time
Sorry But I'm not really listening I've got my mind On something else And sometimes I wonder if I'm here If I'm here at all
I know that you want me to go Don't you But it's not as easy as it seems I know that you think I'm not here at all But I'm just as fed up as you
I know that you want me to leave I'm amazed at how cold you can be Well, may my weak and insipid soul grow stronger in your absence
\ I don't understand You're walking over me All over me To you Well, you must be mad And you know you are You should have known I'd do anything for you
So, why Why Can't we come together Why
Inside my head There's nothing left It's all been taken out By you And do I care Well, you know I do You should have known I'd do anything for you
So, why Why Can't we come together Why
Now it's all been said And you know it all Then you should have known I'd do anything for you
For you
