(as performed on Radio Manchester 1987)
There's a noise in my head
I wish they'd turn down the volume
A voice that's not been fed
Shut away, shut away in a dark room
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up for sanity's sake
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
No-one will look at you
Looking
Looking like that
Looking like that
Need a leader to pull them all together
Together under one umbrella
It's like trying to hold marbles on a tray
If I make a move they just roll away
Roll away, roll away, roll away
Roll away, roll away, roll away
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up for sanity's sake
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
No-one will look at you
Looking
Looking like that
Looking like that
Doubts
Doubts
There's a noise in my head
I wish they'd turn down the volume
A voice that's not been fed
Shut away, shut away in a dark room
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up for sanity's sake
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
No-one will look at you
Looking
Looking like that
Looking like that
Need a leader to pull them all together
Together under one umbrella
It's like trying to hold marbles on a tray
If I make a move they just roll away
Roll away, roll away, roll away
Roll away, roll away, roll away
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up for sanity's sake
Get back, get back, get back in your corner now
No-one will look at you
Looking
Looking like that
Looking like that
