In Quintessence Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

He smokes himself into double vision 

Leaves his mind on an indecision, 

Thinks he's invented imagination 

Says that god is some relation. 

He leaves his cigarette burning on the desk 

His clothes and magazines make up such a mess, 

Sitting up in bed transistor on his chest 

In quintessence. 

He and his friends sit around all evening 

Leaving their laughter upon the ceiling, 

Seems so funny yet it leaves me yawning 

Then I find it's the following morning. 

He says his girlfriend lives too far away 

Always at a friend's house or on holiday, 

His bible of romance hides itself away 

In quintessence.

A 15 year old's browse through life, 

is fine with his quintessence safe and sound in mind, 

Life's an adolescence from time to time 

With us all 

in quintessence. 

Photos 

In the corner with his book and tissue 

All he can do is pretend to miss you, 

Closes his eyes as he sees her body 

Pulls funny faces and that's his hobby. 

On the other hand love ain't a happy word 

On the other hand love ain't a piece of skirt, 

Makes for something special in your football shirt 

in quintessence.
