 I've never seen but I still believe it
 I'd like to dig  it out or maybe wrench it out
 There's no touching
 But there's not much involved in casting  doubt
 Too hard to think about.
I'd  relate my thoughts to you
 But I'm not that stupid  to put my  faith in you.
Ooh-ooh ah-ah ooh_________
Ooh-ooh ah-ah I'll  keep searching  even more.
Ooh-ooh ah-ah ooh_________
 Lord have mercy on me
 Keep me away from Leeds
 I've been  before; it's not what I'm looking for
 There's no touching
 But there's not much involved in casting  doubt
 No need to think about.
I'd  relate my thoughts to you
 But I'm not that stupid  to put my  faith in you.
Ooh-ooh ah-ah ooh___________
Ooh-ooh ah-ah Lord,  I'm searching,  searching
Ooh-ooh ah-ah ooh  been looking  here for more.
Ooh-ooh ah-ah ooh___________
 I've walked around, seen the town with the crowds
 With their frowns  on their faces
 And occasional traces of doubt
 I've walked about, worked it out, pissed about
 Tried to shout,
 No one's listening.
 It's all you your rules and fools.
 And it's all you and your schools their tools, then.
 Lord have mercy on me
 Keep me away from Leeds
 I've been before; not what I'm looking for
 There's no touching
 But there's not much involved in casting doubt
 No need to think about.
 I'd relate my thoughts to you,
 But I'm not that stupid to put my faith in you.
 Ooh-ooh ah-ah ooh_____________
 Ooh-ooh ah-ah Lord, been looking, looking here for more.
 Ooh-ooh ah-ah ooh_____________
 I've walked around, seen the town with the crowds
 With their frowns on their faces
 And occasional traces of doubt
 I've walked about, worked it out, pissed about
 Tried to shout,
 No one's listening.
 It's all you and your rules and fools.
 And it's all you and your discos, your fists don't count, count.
 Chorus to fade.
