Grand Designs lyrics

A to B

Different degrees

So much style without substance

So much stuff without style

It’s hard to recognize the real thing

It comes along once in a while

Like a rare and precious metal beneath a ton of rock

It takes some time and trouble to separate from the stock

You sometimes have to listen to a lot of useless talk

Shapes and forms against the norm

Against the run of the mill

Swimming against the stream

Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme

So much poison in power, the principles get left out

So much mind on the matter, the spirit gets forgotten about

Like a righteous inspiration overlooked in haste

Like a teardrop in the ocean, a diamond in the waste

Some world-views are spacious

And some are merely spaced

Against the run of the mill

Static as it seems

We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams

Curves and lines

Of grand designs
