In Another World Lyrics

You're looking so pleased with yourself.
I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face.
Petty crimes in your leisure time you struggle to break out.
Wash away on your cheap mistakes.
You're abstinent, you're drowned.

In another world you would've found me by now.
You'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river.

Come over here, my dear.
I want to have a word in your ear.
You're your mother's girl you should know that by now.
All the other girls live their lives without self-doubt.

In another world you would've found me by now.
You'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river.

I've been hiding from you.
When we inhabit the same room.
I've been shying from you
When we're under the same roof.

You're looking so pleased with yourself.
I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face.

In another world you would've found me by now.
You'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river.

In another world you would've found yourself by now.
If you weren't so proud I would have given it up by now
With another girl I'd be floundering by now
In another world

This song has strong connotations of Tuxedo Princess / Royale

The night club boats that were in Gateshead and Middlesbrough :-)
