All Stripped Down Songtext
von Paul Medew

Hey do you remember when
the car broke down
and you said that we would not ever forget it?
Well I did but remember that you said it
′cos we were both laughing

But today was a fucking mess
We had it all stripped down
and parts of it were lying on the table
When we put it back together
we thought that we were smart
but we were not able to

It's not a flat pack plan
Allen keys and diagrams
Left over parts that must do something
Whoever made it must be laughing at me


And the way I want it all to be
I got something for nothing
but that doesn′t make it all for free
And the truth is that nowhere
was there ever ever going to be
a quiet corner of the world
where it's not spinning way too fast for me

Remember when we stayed at your friends
sorting out the socks on the lounge room floor?
And gold records
in the corner of the bedroom
where we slept beneath the fading stars

And I've got photos of every hotel room
that I stayed in when I travel
and I like them ′cos they help me to remember
that there′s nothing that is going to last forever now
and I've got proof of life

And I don′t understand
the flowcharts and the diagrams
Put the blame on the middle man
'cos I trusted him to have a plan for me


And the way I want it all to be
I got something for nothing
but that doesn′t make it all for free
And the truth is that nowhere
was there ever ever going to be
a quiet corner of the world
where it's not spinning way too fast for me
