pushing it to the back of my mind

Singer: edwyn collins

looks like all my high falutin plans have fallen through

leaving me to pick up the pieces and start anew

i'm well aware there's something wrong

something i don't care to put my finger on

so i'll keep pushing it to the back of my mind

y'see to all intents and purposes i'm fine

long as i keep pushin' it to the back of my mind

cause this is not the place and this is not the time

to open up my heart and lay it on the line

looks like my high flying fair-weather friends have flown

leaving me to cope with this problem on my own

they're well aware there's something wrong

something i don't care to put my finger on

pushing it to the back of my mind

y'see to all intents and purposes i'm fine

long as i keep pushin' it to the back of my mind

cause this is not the place and this is not the time

to open up my heart and lay it on the line

this old world has long since shed it's innocence

and the smile upon my face is only worn as a defence

pushing it to the back of my mind

y'see to all intents and purposes i'm fine

long as i keep pushin' it to the back of my mind

cause this is not the place and this is not the time

to open up my heart and lay it on the line

this old world has long since shed it's innocence

and the smile upon my face is only worn as a defence

pushing it to the back of my mind

y'see to all intents and purposes i'm fine

long as i keep pushin' it

long as i keep pushin' it

long as i keep pushin' it
