Verse 1

Just the other day

Somebody said to me

Hey maybe you're just slightly schizophrenic

And a little out of reach my friend

I said 'yes, that's partly true' but jokes aside

I can explain, it's just my way of keeping track

With living on this planet

Now then, have you turned on your TV

Have you seen reality

Have you found the programme that

You've spent your whole life looking for

There's a girl in Camden town

Indecision makes her frown

Which dress would she wear today

And which way should she smile at me

Chorus 1

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this

Verse 2

All this noise and all these lights

All this talking through the night

All this expectation now it's making me neurotic

Tell me, have I seen your face before

I forgot to say hello

Thought I'd made it clear now

That I've always been a smiler, tell me

Chorus 2

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this

Bridge

Sometimes it's like I'm a world away

Sometimes I feel a world away

Verse 3

Just the other day somebody said to me

Hey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD

A little out of reach my friend

I said yes that's partly true but jokes aside

Please stay with me

It's just my way of compartmentalizing

All the things I see

Chorus 3

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this

How did it come to this

How did it ever come to this
