Days

Written by：Kristy Maccoll/Peter Glenister

It wouldn't take a long time to explain what lies between us

And it wouldn't take a genius to work out what the scene is

It might just take a pilot to give you a natural high

But you're sending off those bottle tops for your free piece of mind

And are you just waving or drowning

It's so hard to tell when you're so far away

Oh innocence has passed you by a long long time ago

I was the fly upon your wall and I saw what you know

Your pornographic priestess left you for another guy

You frighten little children and you always wonder why

Always wonder why

The mercury is rising and it's not all that surprising

In the land of milk and honey where you make big money

And it always keeps the rain off and it always keeps you dry

But back home the people hate you and you never did know why

But I think I'm going to tell you

Just give me fifty thousand lire for my thoughts

Oh innocence has passed you by a long long time ago

I was the fly upon your wall and I saw what you know

The supermarket checkout girl once smacked you in the eye

When you eat no one else does but you always wonder why

Always wonder why

It would take a gunshot just to clear your head awhile

And after all this time how can you stand there

Look at me and smile

Now are you just waving or drowning

It's so hard to tell when you're so far away

Oh innocence has passed you by a long long time ago

I was the fly upon your wall and I saw what you know

Degeneration suits you now I'm going home to cry

You won't be seeing me again but you'll always wonder why

Always wonder why
