Take a Step Back Lyrics by Patrick & Eugene

Altogether Now (Birds Bees Flowers Trees)

0

[Verse 1]
Recently I felt I'm losing my direction
Trying to find an answer, looking at my reflection
I could be someone else, enjoying new perspectives
Stop looking at yourself, and be more objective

[Verse 2]
So with this in mind, I took a little wonder
'Lots of people on the street; he looks like Henry Fonda
Some of them were cute, and some were slightly sinister
That bloke over there, is he the Greek Prime Minister?!

[Chorus]
You see them park and you see them in the street
'Lots of lovely people you're never gonna meet
Take a look around, tell me what you see
All the lovely people, they're just like you and me
You see them in the train and you see them in their cars
Pointing at the bus-stop and drinking in bars
Take a step back, have a cup of tea
All the lovely people just like and...

[Verse 3]
Sitting in the bus, studying all the faces
I wonder what they're thinking, their mind's in different places
The thing that bothers me, and causes this confusion
Is alienation, is it my imagination, or is it an illusion?

[Chorus]
You see them park and you see them in the street
'Lots of lovely people you're never gonna meet
Take a look around, tell me what you see
All the lovely people, they're just like you and me
You see them in the train and you see them in their cars
Pointing at the bus-stop and drinking in bars
Take a step back, have a cup of tea
All the lovely people just like and...

[Verse 4]
No doubt, you're looking for a great revelation
An answer to it all, the correct interpretation
I don't want to put any noses out of joint
But there's no easy answer (so what's the point?)

[Chorus]
You see them park and you see them in the street
'Lots of lovely people you're never gonna meet
Take a look around, tell me what you see
All the lovely people, they're just like you and me
You see them in the train and you see them in their cars
Pointing at the bus-stop and drinking in bars
Take a step back, have a cup of tea
All the lovely people just like and...
