luffy porcupine / fool in the middle

two, three, four

Life is like a riddle
Stuck in the middle
I have been such a fool
A fool in the middle

Not so bad but not so good
I don't do the things that I should
I have been such a fool
A fool in the middle

Everything I do makes it worse
Just a speck in the universe
Have I been such a fool
A fool in the middle

Everybody puts me down
But they say they like having me around
And that makes me a bitter fool
A fool in the middle

One side pink and one side blue
Purple's gonna have to do
People can be very cruel when you're
Stuck in the middle

Life is like a riddle
Stuck in the middle
I have been such a fool
A fool in the middle

Life is like a riddle
Stuck in the middle
I have been such a fool
A fool in the middle

Mark Taylor / Fool In The Middle

Found that old photo in a dark attic room
Faded and broken by time,
A moment imprisoned in a polaroid tomb
That I couldn't believe was mine,
I hid who I was deep inside myself,
And here I am locked in a four by five cell,

I'm the fool in the middle with the laughing grin,
Looking so innocent and guilty as sin,
Smiling while I'm causing them so much pain
Now I'm that fool in the middle all over again.

So this is how they felt in those days gone by
When they saw it tucked away in that drawer,
Found they were just part of a half of my life,
They deserved to be so much more,
I had so much, 'till that one single day,
Left me with this to remind me how I threw it away.

I'm the fool in the middle with the laughing grin,
Looking so innocent and guilty as sin,
Smiling while I'm causing them so much pain
Now I'm that fool in the middle all over again.

I kept my cake and I ate it too,
Just by cutting my heart and my head in two,
And I bled myself dry with that selfish knife,
Left my body in the middle of a broken life,

I'm the fool in the middle with the laughing grin,
Looking so innocent and guilty as sin,
Smiling while I'm causing them so much pain
Now I'm that fool in the middle all over again.
I'm that fool in the middle all over again.

Mark Taylor / I Think It's Killing Me

There's a screw loose on that air vent,
A splinter on that door,
Extinguish your fire-hazard incense,
Repoint the external wall.

I know how sick you are of checks and confirmations,
Endless health and safety interrogation,
But you don't conform with arbitrary regulation
And I think it's killing me.

I won't come in while it's like this,
So get it sorted out while you can,
And once it's all as safe as houses
I want a brand-new medical plan,

I don't care about the excuses that you invent,
You're being shut down by her Majesty's government.

I know how sick you are of checks and confirmations,
Endless health and safety interrogation,
But you don't conform with arbitrary regulation,
And it's you that's gonna have to pay the compensation,
So start filling in those forms would be my recommendation,
'Cause I think it's killing me.
