Lyrics:
Nigel you’re so scared
Of people trying to control your life and
Criticize you
Change what you do
Make you have to admit
Anyone else knows better than you do
And you don’t have an answer for everything, all right
And you don’t have an answer for everything at night
It’s quite a difficult game
It’s got too many rules
There’s not enough players
There’s only you
If I could make a suggestion
I’d only hope that it wouldn’t be rude
But then what if like so many people
I’m too scared too?
I’m so tired of trying to recreate
I’m so tired of trying to recreate
I’m so tired of trying to recreate
When I’ve been mired, stranded in the same fate
Though I feel inspired, then a moment later find I’ve been too late
I’m so tired of trying to recreate
I’m so tired of proving it to you
That I’ve been mired in the same deluge as you
When I feel inspired, then a moment later forget what I’m trying to do
I’ve been tired, so tired, of trying to get through to you
When it should be easy. . .
