Lip Reading Lyrics - Songs From The Gutter - Thea Gilmore

Spare me the psycho babble the mental rub-down 

For the third time today I put his record on 

I caught this ailment on the rebound 

I'm looking for another one 

Just listen to the DJ and follow the instructions 

Yeah, you're all so passive you drive me to destruction 

'Cause you're melting yourselves down into the cogs of mass production 

And you're lip reading, you're lip reading 

You've gotta see the designer souls in action 

Flagging each disaster so you know where they've been 

And I may be a sucker but I don't see the attraction 

'Cause your name is mud round here if you don't come clean 

Now the bed-sits and graffiti squats are up for rent 

And the rebels here today are just tomorrows accidents 

And you've been walking white lines but you're so hell bent 

'Cause you're lip reading, you're lip reading 

You're not listening its more than you can manage 

Trusting the soul transmission, trusting the body language 

In the distance someone plays a music hall classic 

And the small time pushers predicting snow again 

Someone tells the songwriter to quit the theatrics 

I expect revolution before I count to ten 

So stand in line behind the Miss World failures 

Behind the leading voices and behind the drunken sailors 

Put our hands together, pray for these drowning men to save us 

But they're lip reading, they're lip reading
