World Outside Your Window Lyrics

                          WORLD OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW
                                Tanita Tikaram
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


             Everyone has said that I might go
             'Cos my red suitcase and my Ray-Bans
             Weren't quite so
             I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls
             I'll never come back again
             'Cos you know I laugh when winter shows her hand
             Well that picture framed is the sadest thing you'll see
             But it bought me time and a place that love could be
             And since I'm going now, please rearrange
             'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed
             I don't believe you'll be open anymore

             Tell me if you want to see
             A world outside your window
             A world outside your window isn't free
             And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption
             That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me

             Well everyone was hoping you would stay awhile
             Tell us 'bout your great land in the south
             I see that man --- now ain't he under offer?
             I tell you child you go wash out your mouth

             Tell me if you want to see
             A world outside your window
             A world outside your window isn't free
             And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption
             That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me

             What can you say
             I'm hiding in the belfrey
             What can you say --- I want to catch time
             How can you say you know anything about me
             Well I knew about you --- but I don't care about you

             Everyone has come to see, well somethings have to die
             Flowers out for this graphic haunt, but they all pass me by
             But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz
             And when I winced with ignorance
             I had to kiss the dust
