The Whole World & You (Tally Hall Cover)

anyone who makes a snarky comment about sotries, servisory or colourly gets banished to the shadow realm. i'm fully aware they aren't words. also this is the first song of the album thus far where chronology is actually quite important. i'm sorry about the chaos. and i'm sorry i'm not sorry about the chaos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LYRICS: new, original lyrics indicated by [] square brackets - simultaneous/concurrent lyrics indicated by () parentheses - There's lots of pretty people here, sharing sotries and passing letters and there's lots of questions answered and metaphysical, astronomical songs, words printed all in papers that seem to miss the goal, it's so magical. People that dance and compute that no one's better than you. La la la. La la la. La la la. La la la. There's kings in distant cities who rule their persons and make them happy and we won't forget about all the servisory congratulatory. Even the animals know that something's brewing and they're all cooing. 'Cos in the end, I'd like to say no one's better than you. I hope you're happy now I've revealed the truth. I've even written this whole song about you. And not about me. And not about me. [One time I tried to sing about what was plaguing me: love, duality. And as my mind was cleared of doubt I could finally see these shades of blue and green. (Let's see what the freak's turned around.) So when the darker side had found out about the songs I'd hidden for so long (Can you say you tried your best?) I finally had the courage to say (Did you finally pass my test?) "This is what I can do."] [I hope you're happy now I've merged dark and light. (And though I must admit you took your sweet time.) This slope I'm headed down has turned to a slide. (I always knew that we could be intertwined.) So I'll throw my hands up high and enjoy the ride. (You played Dr Jekyll so I played Mr Hyde.) You've helped restrain that voice that slumbers inside. (And doctor I think I am finally me.) I'm not quite alright. But at least now I'm mine. Please don't just laugh and clap right now. This is serious, I'm not delirious. I've waited very patiently just to let you know, you five-man puppet show that you're the golden standard, the trophy's handed to you, the disbanded group. Concluding in the song I'll say... But wait, I'm not quite done, ya see. 'Cos this is very fun for me, and I've never been one for subtlety. So consider this a eulogy to the colourly band that used to be. And no, I'm not alone in this, you left your footprints you made a difference. Concluding in the song I'll say no one's better than you. No one's better than you. No one's better than... you.
