I'm living in a film Every day I leave the cameras rolling And before I get the chance to light a cigarette The lights come on - Action! - gimme tears And if I were going to die You'd be the girl I'd want to die for Yeah I know that that's not right But the hanging-on takes all the strength I have Did you think you were doing me a favour girl It's the strangest kind of failure girl Hate the guide, drop the pilot, kill the messenger as well Sat outside the erzatz English bar I knew enough to wish upon a star I didn't figure on there being no stars where you are Hadn't realized it had gone that far And if I were going to die I know the railway bridge I'd jump from It's covered in lost causes anyway I guess we'll never know who wrote them Did you think you were doing me a favour girl It's the strangest kind of failure girl Hate the guide, drop the pilot, drown the orchestra as well Did you think you were doing me a favour girl It's the strangest kind of failure girl Hate the guide, love the placement, the Replacements even? No. I've got a problem with that I've got the same problem with everything these days The same problem with everything these days Still and all... Still and all... Still and all
