- Glass Lyrics / with translationsLook through the window (and what do you see?)
Look through the window (and what do you see?)
Look through the window (and what do you see?)
I'm looking through a pain of glass
I'm so restless (I'm as bored as a cat)
I'm so restless (I'm as bored as a cat)
I'm so restless (I'm as bored as a cat)
We'll talk about this and we talk about that
Light myself (a cigarette)
Light myself (a cigarette)
Light myself (a cigarette)
Nicotine really goes to my head
If your feeling all in take some aspirin
If you feel in a mess put your head on a head rest
Your back on a back rest your arm on a arm rest
Your leg on a leg rest your bed on a bed rest
Your foot on a foot rest if you're feeling all in take some aspirin
or some paracetamol
Always thought life should be so easy
It seems that I have misunderstood
Nothing I do can seem to please me
What I say don't sound so good
Look through the window (and what do you see?)
Look through the window (and what do you see?)
I'm looking through a pain of glass
I'm so restless (I'm as bored as a cat)
I'm so restless (I'm as bored as a cat)
I'm so restless (I'm as bored as a cat)
We'll talk about this and we talk about that
Light myself (a cigarette)
Light myself (a cigarette)
Light myself (a cigarette)
Nicotine really goes to my head
If you feel in a mess put your head on a head rest
Your back on a back rest your arm on a arm rest
Your leg on a leg rest your bed on a bed rest
Your foot on a foot rest if you're feeling all in take some aspirin
or some paracetamol
Always thought life should be so easy
It seems that I have misunderstood
Nothing I do can seem to please me
What I say don't sound so good
