So sure
So sure you are
Nothing can
Touch you now
I need to know
Did you think of me
But you’re forgettng me now
Slow down
Don’t be so
Eager to let me go
Realise it could change you
It could change your mind
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again
Johnny is a man
And he’s bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through when you ask him how the kids are
He’ll get home around seven
‘cause the chevy’s real old
And he could have had a cadillac
If the school had taught him right
And he could have married anne with the blue silk
Blouse
He could have married anne with the blue silk blouse
And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
Don’t hit her
"can’t you even cook?
What’s the good of me working when you can’t damn cook?"
Well johnny is a man
And he’s bigger than her
I guess the bruises won’t show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through
And he could have married anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married anne with the blue silk blouse
Shows through
Shows through
Shows through
Right noise.
We’re gonna get real speedy
You gotta wear black all the time
You’re gonna make it on your own.
Cos we dig
Cos we dig
We dig
We dig repetition
We dig repetition
We’ve repetition in the music
And we’re never going to lose it.
All you daughters and sons
Who are sick of fancy music
We dig repetition
Repetition on the drums
And we’re never going to lose it.
This is the three r’s
The three r’s:
Repetition, repetition, repetition
Oh mental hospitals
Oh mental hospitals
They put electrodes in your brain
And you’re never the same
You don’t dig repetition
You don’t love repetition
Repetition in the music and we’re never going to loose it
President carter loves repetition
Chairman mao he dug repetition
Repetition in china
Repetition in america
Repetition in west germany
Simultaneous suicides
We dig it, we dig it,
We dig it, we dig it
Repetition, repetition, repetition
Repetition, repetition, regal zonophone
There is no hesitation
This is your situation
Continue a blank generation
Blank generation
Same old blank generation
Groovy blank generation
Swinging blank generation
Repetition, repetition, repetition….
You get up in the morning
And every single day
Is just a repetition
It’s always been that way
You live alone inside your head
Incommunicado, in the land of living dead
Each day’s a repetition
Of the one that went before
Like watching an old movie
You can’t sit through anymore
Why don’t you kick the habit
And walk right out that door?
From all the repetition
Day after day
All the repetition
It’s always been that way
It’s in your head, it’s in your eyes
You’re boring and it’s no surprise
With all the repetition
Day after day
All the repetition
They say it’s time to start all over
And call it a day
But you go right back where you started
Day after day
You go right back to where you started
Day after day, after day, after day, after day
You look in the mirror
Is anybody there?
It’s only a reflection
That doesn’t really care
You’re a product of your time
Looking hard for something, but you never saw the sign
Lock inside a prison
But that’s where you wanna be
Stuck in solitary
And you’ve thrown away the key
You say you want your freedom
But you don’t wanna get away
Then you wake up, it’s time for you
To start another day
With all the repetition, day after day, all the repetition
All the repetition day after day
Another chance, another day
You know it’s time to get away from all the repetition
Day after day
How long you gonna sit and wait
You’re getting on it’s getting late
They say it’s time to start all over
And call it a day
But you go right back where you started
Day after day
You go right back to where you started
Day after day, after day, after day, after day
I’m coming back to you
Just like before.
I’ve been a lonely boy
Since i walked out your door.
If there’s a life for us,
I don’t know.
But i can’t live like this
Anymore.
The time i spend alone has nothing to give.
It’s repetition,
I’m coming back to you.
Repetition,
The only thing i can do.
I’m coming back to you,
This time to stay.
If i’ve learned one thing
It’s that i can’t stay away.
The time i spend alone has nothing to give.
The life i lead alone has nowhere to live.
It’s repetition,
I’m coming back to you.
Repetition,
The only thing i can do.
And i can still recall
How you would hold me.
The way a vast wave
Broke so slowly.
It’s repetition,
I’m coming back to you.
Repetition,
The only thing i can do.
Repetition,
And we can see this through.
It’s repetition,
I’m coming back to you.
