If Things Were Perfect Lyrics - James

On a machine like this 

Everybody gets their hands oily 

Smoke filled room 

Nobody's lungs stay clean 

But there's a difference between 

A swim and a wallow 

Gives out a clue to how things might have been 

Ask for perfection 

P-p-p-people aren't like that 

Any fool can see 

Who are you to laugh at me? 

I am still 

Standing on the chicken wire 

Daren't look down 

But try and inch a little higher

Friends on the ground 

Say "come on it, the water's fine" 

But I can see their frozen smiles from here 

When you give give give yourself to something 

Is there anything left you can call your own 

If I give give give give my body to someone 

Can I keep keep keep a part for me 

Oh keep a part for me 

Oh leave some piece that's free 

I'll do anything to please you 

I'll do anything to please you 

But take me take me please 

I'm asking, but I'm down on my knees 

You're warm, a home, a place to hide 

You're warm, a home, a place to hide 

You're warm, a home, a place to hide 

A place to hide

Pity, pity me 

Pity, pity me 

You might laugh-ha ha ha when it doesn't affect you 

While I cry-oh oh oh for all to see 

Come on and laugh-ha ha ha when it doesn't affect you 

While I cry stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop 

Stop 

Stop!
