Lyrics
0:00If Things Were Perfect - James
0:17On a machine like this
0:20Everybody gets their hands oily
0:25Smoke filled room
0:28Nobody's lungs stay clean
0:31But there's a difference between
0:34A swim and a wallow
0:36Gives out a clue to how things might have been
0:43If things were perfect
0:47Ask for perfection
0:50P-p-p-people aren't like that
0:54Any fool can see
0:57Who are you to laugh at me
1:08I am still
1:11Standing on the chicken wire
1:17Daren't look down
1:19But try and inch a little higher
1:24Friends on the ground
1:27Say come on it the water's fine
1:31But I can see their frozen smiles from here
1:38When you give give give yourself to something
1:42Is there anything left you can call your own
1:45If I give give give give my body to someone
1:49Can I keep keep keep a part for me
1:52Oh keep a part for me
1:55Oh leave some piece that's free
1:59I'll do anything to please you
2:02I'll do anything to please you
2:05But take me take me please
2:09I'm asking but I'm down on my knees
2:22You're warm a home a place to hide
2:25You're warm a home a place to hide
2:28You're warm a home a place to hide
2:34A place to hide
2:37Pity pity me
2:40Pity pity me
2:47You might laugh ha ha ha ha
2:49When it doesn't affect you
2:51While I cry oh oh oh for all to see
2:54Come on and laugh ha ha ha ha
2:56When it doesn't affect you
2:57While I cry
2:58Stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop
3:01Stop
3:02Stop
If Things Were Perfect - James On a machine like this Everybody gets their hands oily Smoke filled room Nobody's lungs stay clean But there's a difference between A swim and a wallow Gives out a clue to how things might have been If things were perfect Ask for perfection P-p-p-people aren't like that Any fool can see Who are you to laugh at me I am still Standing on the chicken wire Daren't look down But try and inch a little higher Friends on the ground Say come on it the water's fine But I can see their frozen smiles from here When you give give give yourself to something Is there anything left you can call your own If I give give give give my body to someone Can I keep keep keep a part for me Oh keep a part for me Oh leave some piece that's free I'll do anything to please you I'll do anything to please you But take me take me please I'm asking but I'm down on my knees You're warm a home a place to hide You're warm a home a place to hide You're warm a home a place to hide A place to hide Pity pity me Pity pity me You might laugh ha ha ha ha When it doesn't affect you While I cry oh oh oh for all to see Come on and laugh ha ha ha ha When it doesn't affect you While I cry Stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop Stop Stop
