Flicker

These days, looking sideways
Sadness, not from heartache
Cold shoulder, the way you look at me, me, me, me

I’m losing my axis
Looking at the recess
This pressure, the way you look at me, me, me, me

They say don’t even try to resist
Look at what you've been given
Be grateful and don’t take the piss
When the people on TV they all look the same
I know I can do
I can do better than them

When you’re down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
Cos you know what they don’t
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby

They flicker, flicker, flicker
But they ain’t gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me

Back then didn't notice
They called it subversive
No longer withheld by what you think of me

They say don’t even try to resist
Look at what you've been given
Be grateful and don’t take the piss
When the people on TV they all look the same
I know I can do
I can do better than them

When you’re down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
Cos you know what they don’t
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby

They flicker, flicker, flicker
But they ain’t gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me

Well they ain't no sun
Well they ain’t no flame
We are not the same, no no no no
When you're feeling down

When you’re down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby
Cos you know what they don’t
Just remember your name
They ain't us, they ain't us baby

They flicker, flicker, flicker
But they ain’t gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
They flicker, flicker, flicker
Nobody gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me
