The Charm Offensive Lyrics

The Charm Offensive

Senses oh how could you fail us now;

I check your heart still makes a hissing sound

It’s just another name for sorcery

We still believe in what we never see

Our perception is but a camera trick

Authority a uniform

Another name for a second chance

You offer more the sophomore

You offer more, we offer more



Goldmouth at full voice refuse

This should be our chance 

we take this lying down

we take this lying



Goldmouth at full voice refuse

This should be our chance 

we take this lying down

we take this lying



And it burns, it burns us all out as it blows Everyone Into Position



We love to lie and pretend that it’s all o.k.

We love to save all these words ‘til another day

So don’t think on your feet

Cos you sink from your feet up

Are you flirting with me?



Charm Offensive, perma-pensive, dream it all away

Some may kill you, as you continue, to lie for us, I pray



It burns, it burns us all out as it blows

And it burns, it blows Everyone Into Position

Harder to the opposition, harder to the opposition



Don’t you think on your feet

Cos you sink from your feet up

But I’m routing for you, routing for everyone, everyone, everyone



They’ve sold us out again;

Thrown us in the fire

They say we’re all the same

Well, yeah, but we’re not liars, liars, liars…
