No One Is to Blame [Janice Long BBC Session] - Howard Jones

You can look at the menu but you just can’t eat

You can feel the cushions but you can’t have a seat

You can dip your foot in the pool but you can’t have a swim

You can feel the punishment but you can’t commit the sin

And you want her and she wants you

We want everyone

And you want her and she wants you

No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

You can build a mansion but you just can’t live in it

You’re the fastest runner but you’re not allowed to win

Some break the rules

And live to count the cost

The insecurity is the thing that won’t get lost

And you want her and she wants you

We want everyone

And you want her and she wants you

No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

You can see the summit but you can’t reach it

It’s the last piece of the puzzle but you just can’t make it fit

Doctor says you’re cured but you still feel the pain

Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain

No one ever is to blame
