The Triffids - Blinder By the Hour versuri lyrics

I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin' nowhere fast
 
Woke up this morning and went back to sleep
The sun was pourin' and the rain was gettin' deep
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
'Cause everywhere I turn, I wind up headin' back to you
 
I don't know how long I will lay here in this bed
Staring at the ceiling, going crazy in my head
Got to find some meaning, some kind of reason to go on
The only one I had was you and now you're gone, and
 
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin' nowhere fast
 
My friends all tell me I should mellow out
Surely I've got better things to think about
Must be something I can find to help me lose these blues
But the only thing that's on my mind, is standing in your shoes
 
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin' nowhere fast
 
You'd think by now I'd be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
I'm all dressed up but without you there's nowhere to go
 
Ooh, you'd think by now I'd be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
I'm all dressed up but without you there's nowhere to go
 
And I'm so tired of gettin' nowhere
Wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin'
Tired of gettin', tired of gettin' nowhere
 
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, so real tired of gettin' nowhere
Tired of gettin' nowhere, tired, tired of gettin'
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, ooh yeah, won't you say it, ooh yeah
Tired of gettin' nowhere fast - get some rest!
 

Standing by the roadside
Old newspaper in my hand
Reading yesterday's headlines
Nothing new, I said it's all the same
Everywhere!
I'm the fool of the year and I've been waiting
Twenty five years of anticipating
I've seen changes in my land
 
People I'm here to tell you
I've been around since the world began
Well, mr. politician, reform me if you can
I'm an anti-establishment man
I'm tired of your treating
All of my children the same
Everywhere!
Spending all that money
On a stupid war in vietnam
(when we need it at home)
 
People I'm here to tell you
I think it's 'bout time that the world began (all over!)
Well, mr. politician, reform me if you can
I'm an anti-establishment man
 

Well now the stars are falling

Walking all alone in the dead end, the gypsy wants us all around, yeah
I took your fare, I paid your party
There's a hell to spent above these clowns, oh hey hey
 
And nobody knows where we're going too far
Something for sure or we got it booted, oh hey!
 
Down to the tough sweet mountain, yeah
There's a psychic woman under in Old North
Do y'all wanna set this speed off, baby?
I persuade you don't I have my fill? Oh hey hey
 
And nobody knows where we're going too far, yeah
Something was sure or we gotta do, oh hey!
Maybe we got no direction. Said we got no place to go, no no
She shoved all our batch end
