Discomfort of Strangers Songtext

von Roisin Murphy

Discomfort of strangers
In awkward places
No names to the faces
Just strange combinations
They'll defy explanation
Discomfort of strangers
Finally taking me seriously
Somebody taking me seriously
Somebody, finally taking me seriously (Digression)
Finally, somebody taking me seriously
If you fail to repay me
In time, all to be ready
To say that I ain't heavy
To stay here with me baby
The wilder the horses
The tighter the reins
It's not black and white
But black, white, and grey
Wouldn't even
Lead to stand on
Can't you see?
To be taken
To be taken seriously
Discomfort of strangers
In awkward places
No names to the faces
Just strange combinations
If you fail to repay me
In kind, or to be ready
To say that I ain't heavy
To stay here with me baby
The wilder the horses
The tighter the reins
It's not black and white
But black, white, and grey
Wouldn't even
Lead to stand on
Can't you see?
To be taken seriously
My discretion, my disgrace
My digressions, my bad taste
Deceiving
My discretion, my disgrace
So I'm breaking
My digressions, my bad taste
Finally taking me seriously
Somebody taking me seriously
Finally taking me seriously
Finally taking me seriously
