Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be
[Verse 2]
My heart is telling me the telly isn't telling me anything I need
But it needs to keep selling me
Besides celebrities lacking in integrity
Holding up the status quo
Instead of showing your kids that they matter
Who are they gonna batter next?
Just keep holding their necks and keep selling them sex
It's better if we keep them perplexed
It's better if we make them want the opposite sex
And disenfranchised young criminal minds
In a car park beside where your nan resides
They're not slow, they've just never been shown
That you should be
[Verse 3]
Loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Oh, oh
[Verse 4]
We're all human, we're just like you, man
We're sentient, or something or other, I can't remember, whatever
We shouldn't have people afloat
If it were safer on the ground, we wouldn't be on a boat
Charlatan telepathy, exploiting insecurity
And praying on the purity of grief and it's simplicity
But, I know that maybe I'm too skeptical
Even Guy Debord needed spectacles
You see, I'm the Greek economy of cashing intellectual cheques
And I'm trying to progress, but instead of selling sex
And I think I should be
[Verse 5]
Loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be
[Verse 6]
I am forever in alongside the boys in jumpers on bikes
From schools and cars with autumn leaves
Fallen sparse across mid-afternoon
She blazed about how cultural language is an operating system
A simple interface rendered feeble and listless
When tested with divinity or a true understanding of the human condition
I never did understand the duality of art and reality of living life
And treating it as such, but with a certain disconnect to touch that
Cajoles at the artist with comfort and abandon
And between the spires and rolling roofs of the white city
That orange English light cast only one, singular shadow
For you are not beside but within me
[Verse 7]
You should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
(We're all human, we're just like you, man)
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
(We're all human, we're just like you, man)
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Yeah, you should be loving someone
Oh, oh, loving someone
Oh, oh
