How Did It Come to This lyrics

Just the other day somebody said to me

'Hey, maybe you're just 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

With living on this planet

Now then

Have you turned on your TV

Have you seen reality

Have you seen the programme

That you've spent 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 the noises and all these lights

All these talking through the nights

All these expectation now

It's making me neurotic

Tell me, have you seen your face before

I forgot to say 'hello'

Thought I'd make it clear now

That I've always been a smiler, tell me

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this

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

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this
