Across the Border - The Futureheads

No-one likes to feel stupid

Stupid is a subjective thing

Subjective is how you feel today

And today’s the day you’re giving up

Kicked around, pulled apart

Dissected, over-analysed

The more you ask the deeper it gets

And you can’t unpick the knot

Why didn’t we see it in the distance?

The chances of anything coming from Mars

Really?

Really?

Is that the time?

Smug, conceited like someone who knows a fat juicy secret

Let us all in on the joke, Snake’s too good a name for you, mate

Take take, take take take

What would it take to change your mind?

Take take, take take take

What would it take to change your mind?

When did you get so hard?

Why did you stop thinking about us?

Where were you when it all fell apart?

What did you do to stop it happening?

A bolt out of the blue that’s been brewing for a quarter of a century

We’re arguing about something you can’t even see

No-one wants to feel like they’ve given up

No-one wants their belief system called into question

But what would it take to change your mind?

You’ve the right to call yourself whatever you like

What would it take to allow everyone that privilege?

Take take, take take take

What would it take to change your mind?

Take take, take take take

What would it take to change your mind?

Wouldn’t it be nice to go on holiday somewhere in Italy?

How about a beer in Germany?

Maybe we’ll all move to Spain?

Maybe you don’t feel the same?

Surely we all feel the same?

Getting on a plane in the summertime what would it take to change your mind?

I don’t want to feel useless, I want it to be fine and to be able to sleep

tonight

I don’t want to feel useless, I want it to be fine and to be able to sleep

tonight

Take take, take take take

What would it take to change your mind?

Take take, take take take

What would it take to change your mind?

Take take, take take take

What would it take to change your mind?

Tomorrow will be better across the border

It’s never easy leaving across the border

Tomorrow we’ll run faster across the border

It’s never easy leaving
