Story behind the song
A song about what so many of us are guilty of doing - looking around at everyone else, pre-judging them in many cases, and in doing so forget to live our own life - it just passes us by.
Lyrics
Somebody somewhere is holding a knife Somebody somewhere is stealing a wife Somebody somewhere is injecting a needle Into the arm of a man who's lost all his feeling. Somebody somewhere is watching a crowd Somebody somewhere is try'na stand up proud Somebody somewhere is wearing their heart on their sleeve For a girl in the corner he's only just seen tonight. Chorus: Oh can't you see That you're one more step, away from living Tonight oh can't you see All the answers you've been searching and craving for. There's a man in his car driving on the phone That man in his car wishes he was home That man in his car falls asleep at the wheel He's been driving all day alone in his world. There's a girl in the park carves a name in a tree That girl in the park wishes she was free The girl in the park wonders if she can Take all she gets in return for a little love tonight. Chorus And as you walk from street to street Looking into all the houses Watching the rest of humanity You realise you’ve been here before. Solo Somebody somewhere The man and his wife, the girl and the boy Somebody somewhere is watching them all Somebody somewhere is watching me From the second I was born to the day that I die He's writing things about me that I don't like That somebody somewhere is watching me tonight. Chorus, repeat.
