- How Did It Come To This Lyrics / with translationsJust the other day
Somebody said to me
Hey maybe you're just 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
With living on this planet
Now then, have you turned on your TV
Have you seen reality
Have you found the programme that
You've spent 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
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
All this noise and all these lights
All this talking through the night
All this expectation now it's making me neurotic
Tell me, have I seen your face before
I forgot to say hello
Thought I'd made it clear now
That I've always been a smiler, tell me
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
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
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
Somebody said to me
Hey maybe you're just 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
With living on this planet
Now then, have you turned on your TV
Have you seen reality
Have you found the programme that
You've spent 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
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
All this noise and all these lights
All this talking through the night
All this expectation now it's making me neurotic
I forgot to say hello
Thought I'd made it clear now
That I've always been a smiler, tell me
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
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
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
