Joking Aside


N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings


I hate to complain, you know
But then again, I can't pretend nothing's wrong
Looking at my present situation
The act cannot last for long
Viewed from outside
These pursuits I've not tried
Seemed possess of a certain allure
Now they're no longer a source of mystery
And my faith in them's more unsure

Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the light
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes, I'd like to turn you over
See what's on your other side
See if the problem is in
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 light
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes, I'd like to turn you over
See what's on your other side
See if the problem is in
In my mind, in my mind

Girl chorus: La, la, la, la.....

Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the light
Time to show what's really
On my mind
Yes, I'd like to turn you over
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
