lyrics

'The Obvious'

Sometimes I can’t help singing the obvious
In the hope that someone out there understands

Endangered thoughts I struggle to preserve
In silence give attention they deserve

But I know that come tomorrow I’ll change my mind
And I’m sure that sudden happiness makes me blind
To all those painful disappointments and regrets
Because I’m not completely over them as yet

Sometimes I can’t help singing the obvious
Most people don’t expect anything less
The way I felt’s not always the way I feel
And it’s getting even harder to conceal

Well I know that I’m not the chosen one
And I’m sure in spite of that I’m still having fun
All the regrets and disappointments can go to hell
And they can take my low self esteem with them as well

Sometimes I can’t help singing the obvious
I doubt if many people will complain
I feel it more and more with every day
We are one nation under a cliché

But I know that come tomorrow I’ll change my mind
And I’m sure that sudden happiness makes me blind
To all those painful disappointments and regrets
Because I’m not completely over them as yet

Sometimes I can’t help singing the obvious

about

Chairman Cow Glasgow, UK

Good old fashioned homemade Rock music made primarily because I have to or my brain will explode. I have gone by many names over the years and most of them can be found here in one handy location.
