Marillion - Quartz - Текст песни

I can imagine nothing more tedious

Than trying to have fun with you again

Maybe its just something in my mind

But I hate feeling like Im trying all the time

Its a kind of lie

When we pretend that were still friends

Im sure youre not exactly short of people to

Hang out and laugh at your jokes

Tell you you look great

You wouldnt want me around

Making it all feel "forced "

..and "put down"

And every time I smile to wonder if Im laughin at you

And with every little grin you dont want to be wonderin

Just exactly what it is Im taking pleasure in

Although I always said

We were basically the same and all one

All one

Its so easy to persuade myself

Im clockwork and youre quartz

I guess that irony

Will surely be

The death of me

And every time I smile dyou wonder if Im laughin at you? 

And with every little grin you dont want to be wonderin..

Although I always said

We were basically the same and all one

All one

Its so easy to persuade myself

Im clockwork and youre quartz

Youre only happy when youre oiled and jewelled

Youre only happy when you wind me up and I know

Youre so reliable it isnt true

And its so easy for me to break down

If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then

We could join hands and understand. hallelujah!

But I listen

To the ticking

I guess were worlds apart ...

Its so hard

So hard

I know theres no going back

And you know theres no going back

Youre only happy when youre oiled and jewelled

Youre only happy when youre oiled and jewelled

Youre never happy

I need maintenance

I need patience

Im not foolproof

Im not waterproof

Im not shockproof

Bombproof

Bulletproof

Fireproof

Leakproof

Childproof

Stainproof

Pressureproof

I know I told myself

Were all basically the same and all one all one

Yknow sometimes I just cant help myself

Im clockwork and youre quartz

Im clockwork and youre quartz

I know I never get the balance right

And turn up half an hour late night after night

And being totally dependable is so very commendable

Although youre never wrong

One of these days.. youre just gonna stop.
