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
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.
You'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river.
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.
You'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river.
When we inhabit the same room.
I've been shying from you
When we're under the same roof.
I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face.
You'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river.
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 actually reads like a girl speaking to herself.
The line "You'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river" refers to a ship/boat which used to dock under the tyne bridge in newcastle which was a nightclub with a revolving dancefloor.
This song has strong connotations of Tuxedo Princess / Royale
The night club boats that were in Gateshead and Middlesbrough :-)
