Treacle - No One Knows Like Me Lyrics

The world outside drips down the window pane
Washed away and turned to grey
And now it all looks the same
When uniformity is all we crave
No one dares to move against the grain
We're only happy one way

The life I know
Is it all that I'll be?
In the realm of the ordinary
No place to go
So what more can I do?
I'm lashing out to release
Cause no one knows what I mean

Society demands a certain tune
Maybe if I joined the herd
They'd play mine too
But honesty's a weight that weighs a tonne
Who wins between an honest man
And one that gets all he wants?

I can't take it slow until the day that I'm free
From the world of the ordinary
When it's been and past and in time I get through
Oh what a life it would be
But no one knows like me!

Oh what a life it would be...
