the tide came in and nearly buried us here but we saw things like they wouldn't believe you hear a lot of stories about love and romance but i swear nothing quite like you and me and every scar sits like a marker every line on the face is a small souvenir of all the places be they good or be they bad that we stopped into on the journey to here so maybe i lost my sense of direction but im alright now every man needs a little affection and im alright now and there were times when yes alright i confess i did things of which i am not proud everybody wades through the same coloured shit but it doesn't drag everyone down and i was stupid i was insensitive i was all the things i promised i never would be ive seen a lot of foolish behaviour in my time but tell you theyve got nothing on me so maybe i lost my sense of direction but i'm alright now every man needs a little affection so im alright now give me strength give me something to believe in and im alright now sing along when your hearts finished bleeding yes im alright now another evening of sublime self-destruction to the tune of 1000 cigarettes where every nail thats hammered into your spirit well it wasnt able to sink you just yet and television is just some weak anaesthetic to numb the senses til you're out like a light like all these drugs they seem to promise you the earth but then they dont keep you warm in the night so maybe i lost my sense of direction but im alright now every man needs a little affection so im alright now give me strength give me something to believe in and im alright now sing along when your hearts finished bleeding yes im alright now its like i cannot sleep for dreaming this is everything i could have possibly hoped it would be a lot of stories will end happy ever after but i swear nothing quite like you and me
