The Invisibles - Suede

The world waits for you when

And the dawn breaks for you when

And the media will watch

And she will change her mind

I tried to win for you when

I shed my skin for you when

I loved you like my own

I fed you like a child

I stay in bed and feed the day

With my imagination, honey

Falling through the cracks in people’s kindness

And the world won’t step aside

I tried to make you want me

I left my home at seventeen

But everywhere I looked I saw

Another me

And we are the invisibles

Plain and lonely

It’s funny how it’s always out of reach

I hear the wood pigeons and

I call my father in and

He sits and hears me sing

But never wonders why

Why do I call out in the night

He found the photos set alight

Everything about her

Makes me want to smile

I’ll stay in bed and feed the day

With my polite conversation, father

Papering the cracks in others' silence

But I still won’t step aside

I tried to make her want me

I tried to play her politics

But every step I took

I had to swallow this

That we are the invisibles

Strange and lonely

It’s funny how it’s always out of reach

It’s funny how it’s always out of reach

It’s funny how the world is out of reach
