Words Fell Down

(album: Select - 1982)

I wake up in the morning, looking for reaction
Then I see your faces, only for fraction
Did you hurt my feelings? You just nailed me to the wall

Never say you're sorry, never show emotion
Never show a good hand, never give a notion
Don't you feel it's obscene? Do you feel a thing at all?

[Chorus:]
'Cos you come right back with the same old story
Words fell down
Words fell down
You walk right back to the sound of glory
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless, it's so helpless

Always a deceiver, never any answers
Living in the shadows, taking any chances
When you get a good line, come and talk in to my face

[Chorus]

You fight right back with the same reaction
Words fell down
Words fell down
The same old show with the same old caption
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless, it's so helpless
