The Strypes - A Different Kind Of Tension download song

Lyrics

At the back of my mind, on the tip of my tongue
Begging to be forgotten
Emphatically written, dramatically read
Quoted completely verbatim
It’s a spectator sport for the masochists
And a grimace on the face of the masses
In a side street café they can’t bear to watch
But they’re still peering over their glasses
It’s a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don’t want to draw their attention
I’m a coward after all
It’s a different kind of tension
Ears are retracted and cutlery clatters
To mask the sound of heart break
They can go back to their coffee and cream
While I take my leave with a handshake
It’s a spectator sport for the masochists
And a grimace on the face of the masses
In a side street café they can’t bear to watch
But they’re still peering over their glasses
It’s a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don’t want to draw their attention
I’m a coward after all
It’s a different kind of tension
It’s a spectator sport for the masochists
And a grimace on the face of the masses
It’s a different kind of tension
It’s a different kind of tension
It’s a different kind of tension
