All I wanted was the common touch
But maybe I would feel too much
Or what I’ve got
Is simply not enough
I used to try so hard to please
All I got was
“You’re all at sea
Way off key
What kind of songs are these?”
I have struggled to get through
To myself just be true
Please
Asked myself “just who are you
Who has the common touch?”
The common touch
I’ve observed how others go
What is that?
Eyes and lips and hands and clothes
I’ll be exposed
“Look, a real weirdo”
Maybe there’s some magic codе
That connects us node-to-node
Sparks еxplode
Electricity flows
How I wish that I could feel
Some emotional ideal
Please
Just how do I appeal
To the common touch
The common touch?
There are those who fake it all
Politicians who have the gall
To grab, to feel, to hug, to maul
To stoke the fires
To traumatise
Remember the fires
There’s something brutal, something fake
Those who grab our hands and shake
Please
Eventually our bones will break
From the common touch
The common touch
Now’s the time we must resist
The all too canny populist
Please
The jackboot and the fist behind
The common touch
The common touch
It feels too much
Feel it
Feels too much
Too much
The common touch
The common touch
The common touch
