Over You All Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

Well [lou is] alright hanging out in the wind 

He really just wanted to fly 

And I'm alright doing the same again 

You all understand I was shy 

And all the palm-readers have my natural resistance 

That was a bonus for you 

If I told you I loved you, yeh you know I was lying 

I was just trying one over you 

And all the paper elephants in the paper in the school 

They always used to make me laugh 

Now teacher said "you're learning" but I knew I was inside burning 

But these weren't tears for the craft 

And if you want to pretend you can help me any better 

You just got to let me fall 

Cos somewhere in a corner I know it's alright 

I'm going to get over you all 

(chorus) 

And I'm over you all 

Well God knows that's one to the competition 

Over you all 

Well God knows our lives take strange positions 

Well the angriest attitude don't fly so hot 

You play by the water and drink such a lot 

But I knew the reason to hang down my head 

It's better, I think, I just lie on the bed 

And sometimes it hurts but the hurting's not good 

It just makes you feel like a fool 

So somewhere along I can go [doing a throng] 

Any say I can do without you 

(chorus) 

Somewhere inside 

A laughter in here has died 

Won't you come out to play, I know you played before boy 

I know you played before 

Well I'm tingling to your talking 'till I'm mud in your hands 

You know [i] have no power so the statement's kind of grand 

You say "i can save the world, yes I can solve your mind" 

Baby don't you tell me [? ] blind in my mind's eye 

(chorus)
