Nothing Touches Lyrics - New Model Army

We drive in silence beneath the grey dawning skies 

Past the cooling towers where the white clouds slowly rise 

I watch the world through motionless eyes 

Nothing touches . . nothing ever touches 

Raised as son of Empire, hardened like a piece of steel 

I am the master now of all that I can see 

This means so much to you but nothing much to me 

Nothing touches . . nothing ever touches 

Please take me home - I am very young. Please take me home. 

And yes I heard you screaming as you walked out of my door 

And yes I've seen those bloody faces picked up from the floor 

I feel nothing and yet I understand it all 

Nothing touches . . nothing ever touches
