7. Wash over me

It’s funny how they always like to be seen at best
It’s funny how they make you feel like one of the rest
They seem so surprised at their own cleverness
It’s funny but it’s really of no interest

I let it all wash over me
Let it all wash over me
I know that you will watch over me
Let it all wash over me

It’s funny how they seldom get the right things done
It’s funny what they pass on from father to son
‘Life is a battle that has to be won’
It’s funny but it’s really not much fun

And I need you, yes, I need you, I need you to see
I need to feel you close to me
I need you, yes, I need you, I need you to see
It’s funny how you feel so close to me

It’s funny how your story never seems to ring true
It’s funny how they never quite recognise you
Yours is the body in Act I Scene 2
It’s funny but it seemed the right thing to do

You let them all walk over you
Let them all walk over you
You knew that he would look over you
You let them all walk over you
