X And Hell - Shades Off Lyrics
I took the shades offThe world looked oh-so-brightThe world looked oh-so-rightIt seemed oh-so-wrongLike there for so, so longI changed myself for so longCos now I see theCos now I see theI see the[Chorus with backing vocals]I see the beauty when the shades come offThe brights look brighterSometimes when brights look brighterIt makes the darks look darkerWhen some of the blues look bluerAnd some of the greens look redI gotta free my head, my head, my head[Verse]It had to be cooler than coolThe harder to find my heart and my mindWere caught up in trying to be a bosserAnd then nobody heard of a calling it mineAnd I could spend all of my timeIgnoring the shiny ball in the skyKeeping my colour and all in the lineSticking so deep it distorted my mindIt seemed to get sorted with timeProceeded to walk in the lineDiscovered the things I was intoBefore I got caught up and all but went blindA whole different world could be mineThe planets in orbit definedThe pigeon is out of it's holeSo I'm calling it huh! I'm calling it mineI took the shades offThe world looked oh-so-brightThe world looked oh-so-rightIt seemed oh-so-wrongLike there for so, so longI changed myself for so longCos now I see theCos now I see theI see the[Chorus with backing vocals]I see the beauty when the shades come offThe brights look brighterSometimes when brights look brighterIt makes the darks look darkerWhen some of the blues look bluerAnd some of the greens look redI gotta free my head, my head, my headMy head, my headMy head, my headMy head, my headMa-ha-ee-ahMy head, my headMy head, my headMy head, my headMa-ha-ee-ah[Verse]I had my walkman onBut what could I hear with my head in my assI just keep walking on likeOne of the square they get in the trashGet in the class and learn the rulesNow we was a bunch of discerning foolsThere's only so much you can learn in schoolsOf thought and taught the rights and wrongsOf writing songs and keeping it realBut keep it real, I'm eating a mealAnd beating up (?), I beat that up (?)And I don't need nothing to sweeten the dealAnd speaking of skill I got it (for days?)Speaking it I'll when I drop it, (it's?)And speaking of shades I got preparedTo drop my pair and cop the glare(I got prepared to cop the glare)[Instrumental break - 8 bars]I had my shades onThe world's got better, yeahYeah, it's no or noThere's no buts about itYou're (better?) than me, I doubt itYou (liking the nine?) about itIt's bigger than that, I doubt it[Chorus with backing vocals]I see the beauty when the shades come offThe brights look brighterSometimes when brights look brighterIt makes the darks look darkerWhen some of the blues look bluerAnd some of the greens look redI gotta free my head, my head, my head[Instrumental coda - 20 bars]
