Where do we go from here? / The words are coming out all weird / Where are you now when I need you? / Alone on an airplane / Falling asleep against the windowpane / My blood will thicken / I need to wash myself again / To get all the dirt away / But I'll be scared that there's nothing underneath / Who are my real friends? / Have they all got the bends? / I'm really sinking this low / Baby's got the bends, oh no / Don't have any real friends, oh no no / I'm lying in the bar with my drip-feed on / Talking to my girlfriend / Waiting for something to happen / I wish it was the sixties / I wish we could be happy / I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen / Where do we go from here? / The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear / Where are you? / They've brought in the submarines / The tanks and the whole marines / To blow me away, to blow me sky high / My baby's got the bends, oh no / We don't have any real friends, oh no no / I'm lying in the bar with my drip-feed on / Talking to my girlfriend / Waiting for something to happen / I wish it was the sixties / I wish we could be happy / I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen / I wanna live and breathe / I wanna be part of the human race / I wanna live and breathe / I wanna be part of the human race / Where do we go from here? / The words are coming out all weird / Where are you now when I need you?
