Lyric Quartz - Marillion

Lyric Song Quartz: Lyrics Hogarth
Music HogarthKellyMosleyRotheryTrewavas
I can imagine nothing more tedious
Than trying to have fun with you again
Maybe it s just something in my mind
But I hate feeling like I m trying all the time
It s a kind of lie
When we pretend that we re still friends
I m sure you re not exactly short of people to
hang out and laugh at your jokes
Tell you you look great
You wouldn t want me around
Making it all feel forced
and put down
And every time I smile to wonder if I m laughin at you
And with every little grin you don t want to be wonderin
Just exactly what it is I m taking pleasure in
Although I always said
We were basically the same and all one
All one
It s so easy to persuade myself
I m clockwork and you re quartz
I guess that irony
Will surely be
The death of me
And every time I smile d you wonder if I m laughin at you
And with every little grin you don t want to be wonderin
Although I always said
We were basically the same and all one
All one
It s so easy to persuade myself
I m clockwork and you re quartz
You re only happy when you re oiled and jewelled
You re only happy when you wind me up and I know
You re so reliable it isn t true
And it s so easy for me to break down
If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then
We could join hands and understand Hallelujah!
But I listen
to the ticking
I guess we re worlds apart
It s so hard
So hard
I know there s no going back
And you know there s no going back
You re only happy when you re oiled and jewelled
You re only happy when you re oiled and jewelled
You re never happy
I need maintenance
I need patience
I m not foolproof
I m not waterproof
I m not shockproof
Bombproof
Bulletproof
Fireproof
Leakproof
Childproof
Stainproof
Pressureproof
I know I told myself
We re all basically the same and all one all one
Y know sometimes I just can t help myself
I m clockwork and you re quartz
I m clockwork and you re quartz
I know I never get the balance right
And turn up half an hour late night after night
And being totally dependable is so very commendable
Although you re never wrong
One of these days you re just gonna stop
