Superfluous to Requirements Lyrics
Left lying while I was still shaking
Came out, but I was waking
I bask in the sunshine
But I'm tied to the machine
I got stuck in a difficult scene
Is it all you ever needed?
All you could ever want?
Oh, waiter, waiter, make that call
I missed the cue, I caused the fall
And as I sink, the band plays on
I'm pleased as always, pleased
Oh, danger, danger, cause of fall
I never claimed I knew it all
But I start to wonder what went wrong
I wonder what I could have done
My heart amounts to 50 tonnes
And pulls me under, pulls me under
Pulls me under, pulls me under
(Breathe it, breathe it)
Pleased as always, you'll bring it far too near
(Breathe it, breathe it)
It's just like this was never meant to be
I can't recollect, but I'm pleased as always
And feel for you, my dear
And please just say it; I'm not missing you, but all will become clear
Who do you run to? Who do you run to?
Oh, I try to find the words to say
But I always stumble, always delay
I've lost myself, I've lost my way
I'll pull you under, pull you under
(Breathe it, breathe it)
Pleased as always, you'll bring it far too near
(Breathe it, breathe it)
It's just like this was never meant to be
I can't recollect, but I'm pleased as always
And feel for you, my dear
And please just say it; I'm not missing you, but all will become clear
Who do you run to?
Clear, who do you run to?
Clear, who do you run to?
Clear, who do you run to?
Came out, but I was waking
I bask in the sunshine
But I'm tied to the machine
All you could ever want?
I missed the cue, I caused the fall
And as I sink, the band plays on
I'm pleased as always, pleased
I never claimed I knew it all
But I start to wonder what went wrong
I wonder what I could have done
And pulls me under, pulls me under
Pulls me under, pulls me under
Pleased as always, you'll bring it far too near
(Breathe it, breathe it)
It's just like this was never meant to be
I can't recollect, but I'm pleased as always
And feel for you, my dear
And please just say it; I'm not missing you, but all will become clear
Who do you run to? Who do you run to?
But I always stumble, always delay
I've lost myself, I've lost my way
I'll pull you under, pull you under
Pleased as always, you'll bring it far too near
(Breathe it, breathe it)
It's just like this was never meant to be
I can't recollect, but I'm pleased as always
And feel for you, my dear
And please just say it; I'm not missing you, but all will become clear
Who do you run to?
Clear, who do you run to?
Clear, who do you run to?
Clear, who do you run to?

it's a shame no one has commented on this beast of a track. another one of those aching songs that vennart is so good at writing. i can see why this is a b-side (doesn't really fit with any other 'size songs) but it's a shining moment in their catalogue that shouldn't be overlooked.
Totally agree with you. This is fucken awesome. There is something about the keyboard parts that just put this massive smile on my face. I just can't help but be happy when i listen to it. The lyrics are awesome aswell.
