Six (Top of the Pops TV performance) Songtext
von Mansun

And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity, did you see
The way I cowered to authority? You see
And my life, it′s a series of compromises, anyway it's a shame
And I′m conditioned to accept it all, you see

Than I had before, than I've presently got
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I′ve presently got
Than I′ll ever use up, than I really need

Than I had before, than I could possibly spend
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I could possibly spend
Than I′ll ever use up, than I really need

It's more than I can spare
My religion is caged

Safe from progress, purgatory I know
How does this affect me? Emotionally affect me


Will they let me go?
Will they let me go?
Will they let me go?
Equilibrium imbalanced again

I feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
Jabberwocky haunts me, in my memory it′s caged

I feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
Jabberwocky haunts me, in my memory it's caged

I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
But if you punched me in the stomach, then I′d feel it again

Feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
But if you punched me in the stomach, then I'd feel it again


Life is a compromise anyway
Life is a compromise anyway
Life it's a compromise anyway
Life it′s a compromise anyway
It′s a sham and I'll accept it all

Life is a compromise anyway
Life is a compromise anyway
Life it′s a compromise anyway
Life it's a compromise anyway
And it′s a sham and I'll accept it all

And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity, did you see
The way I cowered to authority? You see
And my life, it′s a series of compromises anyway
It's a sham and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see

Than I had before, than I′ve presently got
Than I′ll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I've presently got
Than I′ll ever use up, than I really need

Than I had before, than I've presently got
Than I′ll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, I've presently got
Than I′ll ever use up, than I really need

Than I had before, I could possibly spend
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, I could possibly spend
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need

Than I′ll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I′ve presently got
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
It′s more than I can spend
[Incomprehensible]
