[Verse 1]
Just the other day somebody said to me
'Hey, maybe you're just slightly schizophrenic
And a little out of reach, my friend'
I said 'Yes, that's partly true'
But jokes aside, I can explain
It's just my way of keeping track
With living on this planet
Now then
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Have you turned on your TV
Have you seen reality
Have you seen the programme
That you've spent your whole life looking for
There's a girl in Camden town
Indecision makes her frown
Which dress would she wear today
And which way should she smile at me
[Chorus]
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
[Pre-Chorus]
All the noises and all these lights
All these talking through the nights
All these expectation now
It's making me neurotic
Tell me, have you seen your face before
I forgot to say 'hello'
Thought I'd make it clear now
That I've always been a smiler, tell me
[Chorus]
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
[Bridge]
Sometimes it's like I'm a world away
Sometimes I feel a world away
[Verse 2]
Just the other day somebody said to me
'Hey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD
A little out of reach, my friend'
I said 'yes, that's partly true'
But, jokes aside, please stay with me
It's just my way of compartmentalising all the things I see
[Chorus]
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
How did it come to this
How did it ever come to this
