Wildhearts, The – Schitzophonic

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+)
