lyrics
it's hard to work out what your smile really says to me
or what that softly spoken voice is hiding underneath
you don't look me in the eyes
you seem hard to please
i admit that i'm still broke so you pay for my coffee
we don't kiss and then i leave
it's not that you don't like me
and it's not that i am thinking this is wrong
and i guess we could be happy
but what if we'd be happier if someone else came along
i was taught to not say never
it just feels like we weren't ever meant to be together
this is where i sleep now
still it doesn't feel like home
everyone has got some place to go
and yet they look alone
no one looks me in the eyes
am i so hard to please?
i admit this isn't me so you pay for my ticket
we don't cry and then i leave
it's not that you don't like me
and it's not that i don't think the view is incredible
and you tell me how i'm lucky
but what if you had never felt so out of place before
i was taught to not say never
but if i don't i'm scared i'll never leave here ever
i won't be a part of your machine and i won't be your king
living in a suitcase with my life the world and everything
i've been on your side before but now i see what each day brings
more dissatisfaction with my life the world and everything.

if someone asks me for my favourite or any 80s disco track I still replay in my head again and again, I'll have to clarify why I'd make an exception for Spectrum. absolute bomb with such honest and raw emotion, it just makes me bawl. <3 neuroticcanary
