How Did It Come To This

1. Just the other day somebody said to me
"Hey maybe you're slightly schizophrenic
And a little out of reach my friend"
I said, yes that's partly true
But jokes aside, I can explain
It's just my way of keeping track
Of living on this planet now.

Then...
Have you turned on your TV?
Have you seen reality?
Have you found the program, that you've spend your whole life looking for?
There's a girl in Camden Town
Indecision makes her frown
Which dress would she wear today and which way should she smile at me?

[Chorus:]
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?

2. All this noise and all these lies
All this talking through the nights
All this expectation
Now it's making me neurotic
Tell me have I seen your face before?
I forgot to say hello!
Though I'd made it clear now
That I've always been a smiler, tell me.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Sometimes it's like I'm a world away
Sometimes I feel a world away.

Just the other day somebody said to me
"Hey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD
A little out of reach, my friend"
I said, yes that's partly true
But jokes aside, please stay with me
It's just my way of compartmentalising
All the things I see.

[Chorus]
