Blame it on my family

I feel like there’s a hinge I have to take out
And move it to the left and shake it all about
I’m pinned somewhere it’s hard to see
You can blame it on my mom, you can blame it on my dad
You can blame it on my family
I keep waiting for that part in the movie
Where everything’s ok and my problems
Just go away
Here I am again with my coffee
And a list as long as my arm
I can’t even remember what I came here for
It seems so long and gone
I keep waiting for that part in the movie
Where everything’s ok and my problems
Just go away
Jesus and Buddha said there was no
Special incantation for happiness
But if I had a formula – I’d put it in a bottle
And sell it for a tenner a box
I keep waiting for that part in the movie
Where everything’s ok and my problems
Just go away

The Way You Are

Trying not to obsess
About every little detail
And trying not to get upset
About every time you let me down
If you start your thinking
That you've come so far
Well think again – oh think again
Don't you know that
I've always loved you just the way you are
And thinking about nothing
And yet everything weighs on my mind
Thinking I should think nice thoughts
And yet all my thoughts seem so unkind
If you start your thinking
That you've come so far
Well think again – oh think again
Don't you know that
I've always loved you just the way you are
