The Wildhearts – Schitzophonic lyrics

And once upon a time, so pure and crystalline
The sounds would change to what the mood defined
It didn't play a role, it just said bare the soul
And then we left it up to crowd control
Without a code of dress within the fold
Then I heard somebody shout: "hair is in, now it's out
There is no exception to the rule"
Showbiz personalities have become authorities, so...

Take a trip, shake it home, make a slip and the time it gets atone
Get it in, get it out, do it right and there ain't no doubt, well there ain't no doubt being

CHORUS:
There's a [heartache]
Schizophonic (x3)

Schizo...


If there's a sound you play that doesn't fit today
Why not just play the bastard anyway?
Ignore those journalists, we're just one mind you miss
The only voice is what you say is yours
So don't get lost in corporate corridors

Those that wait to twist the knife from the other side of life
Trying to gain some access into yours
Oh, but would you be in theirs, shouting orders from your chair, well?

[east (to) west, even burn]
Get a life from the things you've seen not heard
Mix the colours, watch the smoke
If they don't get it then it ain't no joke, no it ain't no joke being

CHORUS:
There's a [heart there]
Schizophonic (x5)
Well you're never alone with a schizophone (x2)

Take your time, speak your mind
Believe their politics that push you on under
Feel it all with open eyes
You know it's hard to fit (if) you're something unusual
Be inspired, a freak with pride
It's what they'll never be
And they will come running
Look at them running

So,
Plug it in, let it out
Look around and there's a lot to shout about
[say] nothing and you are nothing
Don't be a dead man sucking on teats while the world competes, be

CHORUS:
There's a [heartache]
Schizophonic (x5)
Well you're never alone with a schizophone (x4)

Take a risk from your lone time, use it all, like a mainline
Feeling restless, supersonic, got a ticket, getting on it
Schizophonic (x36+)
