Pulp - Joking Aside lyrics

rate me

I hate to complain, you know, but then again

I cannot pretend nothing's wrong

Looking at my present situation, the act cannot last for long

Viewed from outside these pursuits I might try

seem possessed of a certain allure

Now they're no longer a source of mystery my faith in them's more unsure

Now the time to play is over / Time to dispose of the lies

Time to show what's really / on my mind

Yes I'd like to turn you over / to see what's on your other side

To see if the problem's / in my mind / In my mind

The choice is quite clear, to move on or stay here

Decision is harder to take

Reject what I have for something unstable could easily be a mistake

So I walk round the place with a smile on my face

pretending the best that I can

Hoping to lose the inclination to desire what I can't understand

And the time to play is over / Time to dispose of the lies

Time to show what's really / on my mind

Yes I'd like to turn you over / to see what's on your other side

To see if the problem's / in my mind / In my mind

Lalalalala lalalalala...

Now the time to play is over / Time to dispose of the lies

Time to show what's really / on my mind

Yes I'd like to turn you over / to see what's on your other side

Like to turn it over / in my mind

In my mind / In my mind / In my mind / In my mind.
