Why  aren't I one of  these interesting  people
 Who's always  got something  to say?
 To not  be contrived  and to feel  so alive
 And to never  have wasted  the day
 To go  for long walks  and have well-informed  talks
 In an non-confrontational  way
Why  aren't I one  of these interesting  people
 And why  ………………………………won't  you stay?
I'm  still having the same  conversation
I've  been having for years
I  just want to read and retain  information
Just  face up to my fears
I  look at myself and it's so  plain to see
All  I need is to change
Not  too much, I still want  to be me
Everyone  looks the same
Why  is my phone  full of so  many numbers
 And why  doesn't anyone  call?
Maybe  they think  that I'm always  too busy
 Or maybe  I've no  friends at all
 When I'm watching tv  they're all out  necking Es
 And well obviously  I'm appalled
Why  is my phone  full of so  many numbers
 And why………………………………………  don't you call?
I'm  still having the same  conversation
I've  been having for years
I  just want to read and retain  information
Just  face up to my fears
I  look at myself and it's so  plain to see
All  I need is to change
Not  too much, I still want  to be me
Everyone  looks the same
I'm  still having the same  conversation
I've  been having for years
I  just want to read and retain  information
Just  face up to my fears
I  look at myself and it's so  plain to see
All  I need is to change
Not  too much, I still want  to be me
Everyone  looks the same
Why  aren't I one  of these interesting  people
 Who's always  got something  to say?
 To not  be contrived  and to feel  so alive
 And to never  have wasted  the  day
 To go  for long walks  and have well-informed  talks
 In an non-confrontational  way
Why  aren't I one  of these interesting  people
 And why ………………………………won't  you stay?
I'm  still having the same  conversation
I've  been having for years
I  just want to read and retain  information
Just  face up to my fears
I  look at myself and it's so  plain to see
All  I need is to change
