Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Strugglin' to pull down his cagoule
A silent scholar leaves the library
Stumblin' his way downstairs
He's wearin' far too many layers
But feels the gentle summer air is not reality
[Verse 2]
And he gets what he gets, life deceives him yet
Look at him and you'll discern someone who's really tryin' to learn
Leave his zeal to congeal on his spinnin' wheel
And he will stretch it out until it's clear
That there is nothin' to reveal
[Verse 3]
Wakin' to an early summer dawn
I lie in bed and dream the day away
Seein' how events will pan out
I don't have to rush to get out
Of this overheated pit to face reality
[Verse 4]
And I get what I get, life deceives me yet
Look at me and you'll discern someone who's never tried to learn
Leave my zeal to congeal on my spinnin' wheel
And I will stretch it out until it's clear
That there is nothin' to reveal
[Verse 5]
Here it comes again
That old feelin' that I'm not good enough
And where I am sat
The birdsong I can hear consoles me with the thought
That my own vanity soon will count for nought
[Verse 6]
In a large Newcastle hotel room
Casanova copulates again
Technique being of the very best, he's squishing each and every test
And feels inside his lover's breast his own reality
[Verse 7]
And we get what we get, life deceives us yet
Not that it's of your concern, but we've learned all there is to learn
Leave our zeal to congeal on the spinnin' wheel
And we will stretch it out until it's clear
That there is nothin'
[Verse 8]
We will stretch it out until it's clear
That there is nothin'
We will stretch it out until it's clear
That there is nothin' to reveal
[Verse 9]
We will stretch it out (We will stretch it out)
Until it's clear that there is nothin'
We will stretch it out (We will stretch it out)
Until it's clear that there is nothin'
We will stretch it out until it's clear
That there is nothin' to reveal
