Schitzophonic Lyrics - Wildhearts

and once upon a time, so pure and crystalline 

the sounds would change to what the mood defined 

it didn't play a role, it just said bare the soul 

and then we left it up to crowd control 

without a code of dress within the fold 

then I heard somebody shout: "hair is in, now it's out 

there is no exception to the rule" 

showbiz personalities have become authorities, so... 

take a trip, shake it home, make a slip and the time it gets atone 

get it in, get it out, do it right and there ain't no doubt, well there ain't no doubt being 

CHORUS: 

there's a [heartache] 

schizophonic (x3) 

schizo... 

if there's a sound you play that doesn't fit today 

why not just play the bastard anyway? 

ignore those journalists, we're just one mind you miss 

the only voice is what you say is yours 

so don't get lost in corporate corridors 

those that wait to twist the knife from the other side of life 

trying to gain some access into yours 

oh, but would you be in theirs, shouting orders from your chair, well? 

[east (to) west, even burn] 

get a life from the things you've seen not heard 

mix the colours, watch the smoke 

if they don't get it then it ain't no joke, no it ain't no joke being 

CHORUS: 

there's a [heart there] 

schizophonic (x5) 

well you're never alone with a schizophone (x2) 

take your time, speak your mind 

believe their politics that push you on under 

feel it all with open eyes 

you know it's hard to fit (if) you're something unusual 

be inspired, a freak with pride 

it's what they'll never be 

and they will come running 

look at them running 

so, 

plug it in, let it out 

look around and there's a lot to shout about 

[say] nothing and you are nothing 

don't be a dead man sucking on teats while the world competes, be 

CHORUS: 

there's a [heartache] 

schizophonic (x5) 

well you're never alone with a schizophone (x4) 

take a risk from your lone time, use it all, like a mainline 

feeling restless, supersonic, got a ticket, getting on it 

schizophonic (x36+)
