Story Behind the Song
We just slipped the shuttle in reverse, and as we turned around to face the earth we made a note of what we saw. It shimmered and glowed, mesmeric.
Lyrics
Standing motionless,
The world revolves around you,
Reeling speechless at the passion-lacking passers-by,
Aimless faceless queues who fail to see what you do,
Are they fearful of their neighbours or deaf, dumb and blind.
Has the world gone crazy,
Do they fail to see what I see,
Or does the problem lie with me.
A million miles of traffic barely ever moving,
Lonely hearts club columns bursting from the page I read,
Endless ravers savour bass,
Forever grooving,
Filling empty lives of bedsitland with shameless sin.
Is it so amazing,
To want to be lazing around,
Sharing thoughts and words of love.
I long to learn, to love, to give, to care, to share, to kiss, to feel, to seek, to find, to hope, to dream, to grow, to have, to hold, to live.
I long to see, to breathe, to be believed, to taste success, achieve the best, to sense a pride I have denied, to supersede, to breed, to live.
