Intro

Verse

Every pupil in the classroom

Will answer this song if you ask them

Every mouth shout the message out as one

Every girl weeps like a willow

Every boy cries into his pillow

Every tear disappears in the morning sun

You don't need an indie song

To figure out what's going on

Chorus

Tell me that I'm normal

And tell me that I'm sane

And tell me that you feel this too

The dreams that we have had

Are gonna prove that we're not mad

To you...

Every nose is a vacuum cleaner

In the loved-up London arena

Every eye shines a dollar sign for me

Every tongue will wag if you want it

Every lung has a shadow on it

Every heart comes apart at the seams

You don't need a mastermind

To read between the long white lines

Tell me that I'm normal

And tell me that I'm sane

And tell me that you feel this too

The dreams that we have had

Are gonna prove that we're not mad

To you...

Well we all need reassurance

As we play life's game of endurance

Like a nice cup of tea or a cigarette

But don't lean too long on the crutches

Or you'll fall straight into the clutches

Of those who see free expression as a threat

You don't need a law degree

To set your mind and spirit free so tell me...

What the hell is normal?

And who the hell is sane?

And why the hell care anyway?

The dreams that we have had

Are gonna prove that we're all mad

And that's okay...
