A Different Kind of Tension Songtext
von The Strypes

At the back of my mind
On the tip of my tongue
Begging to be forgotten
Emphatically written
Dramatically read
Quoted completely verbatim

It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
on the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
peering over their glasses

It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension


Ears are retracted
And cutlery clatters
To mask the sound of heart break
They can go back
To their coffee and cream
While I take my leave with a handshake

It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
on the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
peering over their glasses

It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension

It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
on the face of the masses


It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
