How Did It Come To This - Take That

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?

How did it come to this?

How did it ever come to this?

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

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
