What I Mean
music & lyrics written by Bobo


Language is a fussy case
Some time we quit
Words got a fixed meaning
For some people
We are right in their midst
*
Between people one is used to
Reactions to certain signs
That is similar to animals
Except a response inside
*
But what I mean means
Hearing as a complex faculty
Hey darling what's the matter
I try to see
*
We are like politics
In our duels we are talking
But all of a sudden
Drawing revolvers in our walking
He who listens first to the words
'Stead of taking care
Of the hands and the eyes
*
Will get worse
Will get worse
Will get worse
Will get worse
Look at my hands!
I see your face
But I don't know now what you've said
Look at my hands!
I see your face
But I don't know now what you've said
*
All the colours are so much stronger
Sorry I don't understand
All the colours are so much stronger
Sorry I don't understand
*
But what I mean means
Hearing as a complex faculty
Hey darling what's the matter
I try to see
But what I mean means hearing
Hey darling what's the matter
I try to see and see
And see and see
